*About the materials

*Main bead...Starry moon linden fruit from Hainan Island

-Starry moon linden fruit from Hainan Island, China, which is considered the highest quality among starry moon linden trees, is used.

[Mysterious tree fruit loved by many people]

The name Starry Moon linden comes from the fact that the countless black spots on the tree resemble the stars in the night sky.

The only large spot that remains as a trace of the stem is likened to the moon, and a single starry moon linden fruit is likened to the universe.

The universe has been believed to be the world of Buddha since ancient times.

The story goes that the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and this is one of the reasons why the fruit of the Bodhi tree is so popular.

(*There are many types of Bodhi trees, and in addition to the Bodhi tree, many other types of fruit are used in prayer beads. There are types such as the Kongo Bodhi tree, the Heavenly Eye Bodhi tree, the Black Dragon Bodhi tree, the Phoenix Eye Bodhi tree, the Maya Bodhi tree, the Tiger Eye Bodhi tree, the Five Face Bodhi tree, and the Antique Bodhi tree.)


*Parent jewel, Heavenly jewel...Garnet (January birthstone)

Garnet, with its rich wine-like color, is also called garnet because of its color that resembles a pomegranate.

The origin of the word garnet is said to be the Latin word for "protecting oneself from illness."

Garnet is a garnet, the January birthstone, and leads to victory. It is said to be a stone that leads to success, and it also has the meaning of "leading to success by continuing steady efforts without sparing any effort."

There is also a record that a woman gave it as a pendant as a gift to a medieval knight.

There is an anecdote that the pendant deflected an arrow, so it was worn with the hope of victory, and it is still used as a talisman today.

When comparing garnet with quartz, we can see that garnet is about 20% heavier than quartz.

It is heavy, so it can be said that it is hard and packed with crystals.

In addition, in ancient Egypt and Europe, garnet was thought to be effective against poor health, and in addition to being used as an ornament, it was used as a medicine to stop blood flow.


※ The meaning of the official bracelet by sect

I made a birthstone bracelet by sect using the starry linden tree, which has been considered mysterious since ancient times, as the main bead, and garnet, which is the birthstone for January.

This is the official bracelet of the Jodo sect.

Even if you don't have a formal rosary, you can easily wear this bracelet, and it is a rare gem as a birthstone bracelet.

The characteristic of the official bracelet of the Jodo sect is that it uses two-strand ring-crossing (ring-piercing rosary).

One strand has 27 beads, the other has 20 (or 40) beads, with 10 flat beads and 6 round beads of disciple beads.
Unlike other sects, the official Jodo sect rosary does not have 108 main beads.

However, it is the rosary that can be counted the most.
For men, it can be counted about 30,000 times, and for women, it can be counted about 60,000 times.

The official bracelet by sect and the birthstone-decorated products are original products of Kohgen Rosary Museum.

We hope you will keep this official bracelet of your sect close to you and wear it for a long time.
