*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.

Also, the story goes that the place where Buddha attained enlightenment was under the Bodhi tree, which is one of the reasons why the fruit of the Starry Bodhi Tree is so loved.

(*There are many types of Bodhi trees, and in addition to the Starry Bodhi Tree, many other types of Bodhi Tree 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-faced Bodhi Tree, and the Antique Starry Bodhi Tree.)


*Parent Bead and Heavenly Bead... Yellow Quartz (November birthstone)

Yellow Quartz is also called citrine.

It was named after the fact that it resembles the color of the citrus fruit "citron".

It is called citrine topaz because its color resembles topaz.

The golden glow reminiscent of the sun makes you feel calm just by looking at it.

It has also been said since ancient times to be a "lucky stone" that brings prosperity and wealth in business.

It also makes a great gift for people born in November.


※The meaning of the official bracelets by sect

The main bead is the starry bodhi tree, which has long been considered mystical, and the November birthstone, yellow quartz, is used to create the official bracelets by sect,
making birthstone bracelets.

This is the official bracelet of the Jodo Shinshu sect.

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

The characteristic of the official bracelet of the Jodo Shinshu sect is that one tassel has 20 disciple beads, and the other has no disciple beads and is tied in a knot called Rennyo Musubi.

This knot, which looks like a butterfly with its wings open, characterizes Jodo Shinshu prayer beads.

There is no rule on the number of beads, and no particular emphasis on the shape.
However, they are treasured as ritual implements used during prayer with hands together in prayer.

The official bracelets for each sect, decorated with birthstones, are original products of Kohgen Ojuzukan.

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