*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, Heavenly Eye Bodhi tree, Black Dragon Bodhi tree, Phoenix Eye Bodhi tree, Maya Bodhi tree, Tiger Eye Bodhi tree, Five Face Bodhi tree, and Antique Starry Bodhi tree.)


*Parent bead and Heavenly bead...Agate (July birthstone)

For those who are obsessed with red natural stones, we will introduce agate this time.

Agate is the general name for a mineral made up of small quartz crystals that have gathered together and formed into a mass.
It is said that the name comes from the fact that its shape resembles a horse's brain.

It is often found in lumps in volcanic rocks, and is characterized by the fact that its color changes and stripes appear when it is formed due to the influence of iron and other factors.

The name agate is said to have been given to it because the process of its formation and its shape resemble a horse's brain.

Red is considered to be a color that wards off evil, and red agate is often used in rosary. It is the perfect stone to have as a talisman.

It is also said that agate "gives courage to the wearer" and "builds smooth human relationships." I think it would also be a great gift for working adults.

It is also a great gift for people born in July.


※The meaning of the official bracelet by sect

I made a birthstone bracelet by sect using a starry bodhi tree, which has been considered mysterious since ancient times, as the main bead and agate, the birthstone for July.

This is the official Shingon sect bracelet.

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

One of the characteristics of the official Shingon sect bracelet is that it is said that the Shingon sect was the first to bring rosary to Japan.
Therefore, the shape is very similar to the formal rosary used by all eight sects.

The shape is often with two tassels on the front and back, with a red string running through them.
The rosary that is carried with you on the pilgrimage is also a slightly longer version of this Shingon sect rosary.  


The official sect bracelets decorated with birthstones are original products of Kohgen Rosary Museum.

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


※At Kohgen Ojuzukan, we create our rosaries with particular attention to the quality of the materials, the arrangement, the color of the tassels and strings, etc.

Of course, these are Kohgen Ojuzukan originals.

This is a masterpiece that has been carefully crafted. We highly recommend this product, so please use it.
