Yakusugi Cedar 108-Bead Double-Wrap Bracelet with Agate

Yakusugi Cedar 108-Bead Double-Wrap Bracelet with Agate

A double-wrap bracelet of 108 beads made from Yakusugi, ancient cedar trees over 1,000 years old that grow only on Yakushima Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site; only naturally fallen trees may be used, making the wood a rare material. Yakusugi is prized for its fine, tightly grained rings, which deepen in color the more the bracelet is worn. Agate is used as an accent, adding a vivid touch of color and shine. As is traditional for 108-bead rosaries, this design reflects the 108 earthly desires described in Buddhist teaching, with each bead said to correspond to a Buddha who oversees one such desire, making the strand both a keepsake and a quiet aid to reflection.
