This bell has the
word “Saga” on
it—doesn’t that
mean Saga in
Kyūshū?

Wait, why would
a bell from Saga
end up in Chiba?

During the
Nanboku-chō period,
the Chiba clan was
split—some lived in
Kyūshū, others in
Shimousa. When the
Kyūshū branch
attacked the Shimousa
branch, they likely
brought this bell from
Saga and used it as a
signal during battle.
