Note :
This is a formal rosary for women of the Jodo sect.
We used striped rosewood, which is characterized by its beautiful grain and its thick, dense texture.
It has a glossy dark brown color and deep purple stripes. The deep color of the agate adds an accent and gives the piece an elegant impression. As you use it, it becomes glossy and you can enjoy the change in texture and color.
The tassels are made of high-quality pure silk Kabonten. It is made by weaving threads using traditional braiding techniques, so it is strong, and the Bonten tassels are beautiful in appearance, reminiscent of lotus flowers.
This is an exquisite product handmade by a skilled Kyoto rosary maker.
・Striped Rosewood
A related of the genuine rosewood, it is a good quality material among the Karaki woods. The grain is dense and fine, with black stripes in a brownish color. Like genuine rosewood, it is hard and has a faint fragrance, but unlike genuine rosewood, it is characterized by its less deterioration of color. It is used for Buddhist altars, alcove pillars, Karaki woodwork, etc.
・Agate
Agate has been treasured since ancient times and is considered one of the seven treasures in Buddhism. It comes in a wide variety of colors and is suitable for processing, so it is used in art and sculptures around the world. It is said to have the effect of strengthening human relationships and balancing the mind and body. It is also used as a amulet for fertility, safe childbirth, health, and longevity.
