The bosho (Buddhist temple bell) was completed in Daibutsuden in May 1614, and a rakkei hoyo (a memorial service to celebrate the construction of a temple) was held but was aborted due to an ill-omened word mentioned by Ieyasu TOKUGAWA in August concerning the inscription for a Buddhist temple bell drafted by the Zen monk Bunei Seikan of Nanzen-ji Temple.
慶長19年（1614年）には４月大仏殿の造営にあたり梵鐘が完成し、南禅寺の禅僧文英清韓に命じて銘文を起草させ落慶供養を行おうとしたところ、7月には梵鐘の銘文について徳川家康より不吉な語句があるとして異議が唱えられ、開眼供養の中止を求めた。
