On September 10, 1929, the BTOA Temple Bell was installed when Rev. Shosin Taguchi was the resident minister.
 
Embossed on the bell are the names of the following Issei pioneer members: Yonezo Enomoto, Kiyoji Fukumoto, Sadahichi Hayashida, Kumajiro Kanzaki, Umetaro Kondo, Iwakichi Momii, Sakutaro Nakagawara, Shikataro Nakano, Shujiro Nakano, Ushitaro Otsuka, Kumataro Shimada, Kumagoro Takagi, Tsurukichi Tanaka, Matsuzo Yamashita, Shinichi Yoriji.

 

You can also find an embossed poem written by Bishop Koyu Uchida, the 4th Socho of the Buddhist Churches of America. The bell is still in use at the temple to this day.
