Men's Prayer Beads, Kiso Cypress, 22 Beads, Bloodstone Finish
A large-bead strand celebrating the fragrance of cypress. Kiso cypress grows in the Kiso Valley region of Nagano and, thanks to the area's cold climate, takes 70-80 years to mature -- far longer than the usual 30-40 years elsewhere in Japan -- giving it an exceptionally fine, beautiful grain. Simply holding the beads releases the wood's fragrant aroma, finished here with bloodstone, whose distinctive red flecks against a deep green ground lend the piece a striking character.
