*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 fruit 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... Lapis lazuli (September birthstone)

Lapis lazuli is a natural stone that is considered to be the oldest and most powerful power stone, along with quartz crystal.

It is considered a "sacred stone" that exorcises evil spirits in many countries around the world.

It was used in the Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilizations, and since it was worn by the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, it seems to have been treasured since ancient times.

It is also counted as one of the seven treasures in the Buddhist world, and in Japan it has been considered a stone of happiness along with quartz.

Its deep indigo color has also been popular since ancient times as a gemstone and as a raw material for ultramarine pigments.

It also makes a great gift for someone born in September.


※ Meaning of the official bracelets by sect

We have made a birthstone bracelet by sect using the starry bodhi tree, which has long been considered mystical, as the main bead and lapis lazuli, the birthstone for September.

This is the official bracelet of the Tendai 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 Tendai sect's official bracelet is that it is a rosary with a total of 108 beads.

20 flat disciple beads and 10 round disciple beads hang from the main bead.

The Tendai sect's rosary has a very strong element of counting, and each time you read a sutra, one main bead is turned, and an important mechanism is installed to count the number of times you have read a sutra.

After one turn, one flat bead of the disciple beads is turned up.

When all the disciple beads have been turned up, you can read a total of about 30,000 sutras.  

The official bracelets by sect and products 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.
