千尊鐘 せんぞんしょう Senzonshō）は、お鈴（おりん）を棒又はバチで叩いて音をだす打楽器である。千尊鐘は、富山県高岡市にて明治40年に創業した仏具メーカー、株式会社 山口久乗が創り出した「久乗おりん」を使用。日本で古くから親しまれているお鈴を千尊鐘創始者の千代（Chiyo）こと萩原千代が独自の枠に捉われない演奏スタイルに創設し、千尊鐘と命名した。
Senzonshō is a percussion instrument, which creates the sound by playing on bells with a stick or drumstick. Bells have been very popular as musical instruments in Japan since ancient times.
The bells used by Chiyo Hagiwara are "Kyūjō Orin", manufactured by the Yamaguchi Kyūjō Co., Ltd.; Chiyo named them Senzonshō and established her unique performance style, as a bridge between past and present, tradition and contemporary interpretation of old Japanese stories and legends, and by adding her personal feelings, the magical music composed by artist Chiyo Hagiwara was born.
Senzonshō este un instrument de percuție, care creează sunetul cântând pe clopote cu un băț de percuție. Clopotele au fost instrumente foarte populare în Japonia încă din cele mai vechi timpuri.
Clopotele folosite de Chiyo Hagiwara sunt marca „Kyūjō Orin", fabricate de Yamaguchi Kyūjō Co., Ltd.; Chiyo le-a numit Senzonshō și și-a format stilul unic de performanță, ca o punte între trecut și prezent, tradiție și interpretarea contemporană a vechilor povești și legende japoneze, iar prin adăugarea sentimentelor personale s-a născut muzica magică compusă de artistul Chiyo Hagiwara.
A Senzonshō egy ütős hangszer, amelyen a hang különböző nagyságú harangokon, pálcával vagy dobverővel játszva jön létre. A harangok ősidők óta nagyon népszerű hangszerek voltak Japánban. Chiyo Hagiwara, a Yamaguchi Kyūjō Co., Ltd által gyártott "Kyūjō Orin" harangokat használ; ezeket Senzonshō-nak nevezte el, így alkotva meg egyedi előadásmódját, mintegy hídat hozva létre a múlt és a jelen, a régi japán történetek és legendák kortárs előadása között. Így született meg a személyes érzelmek hozzáadásával, a Chiyo Hagiwara előadóművész által komponált varázslatos zene.

Hagiwara Chiyo is a pianist who has gained attention as Japan's foremost authority on the works of the prematurely deceased genius composer Carl Filtsch and his elder brother Joseph Filtsch.
Since 2020, she has established "Senzonshō," a unique performance style using Kujo orin (singing bowls). She creates free-form contemporary music by combining the traditional Japanese "orin," which has long been cherished in Japan, with various instruments.
In March 2021, she released her first original CD, Senzonshō / Suite Amano-Iwato. Since then, she has performed at a wide range of venues including shrines, temples, churches, halls, and various events.
In April 2023, she enrolled in the graduate school of Kyoto University of the Arts to conduct comprehensive research and investigation into the "orin" used in Senzonshō.
