Ebony 108-Bead Bracelet, Shingon Sect Style, Matching Set

A Shingon Sect Bracelet Made of Standard Ebony

The material here is ebony, a classic prayer-bead wood. Wooden prayer beads are known for fitting comfortably in the hand and deepening in color the more they are used. Why not wear this bracelet as a constant companion?

Regarding the Shingon sect, one theory holds that it was the Shingon sect that first brought prayer beads to Japan. For this reason, its shape closely resembles the formal prayer beads shared across all eight major sects, typically featuring two tassels front and back strung with a red cord. The prayer beads carried on pilgrimages are simply a slightly longer version of this Shingon-style bracelet. This is the most classic and standard style of prayer beads available.
