Limited edition, Rinzai sect prayer beads made from high-quality black persimmon!


Black persimmon is a type of astringent persimmon and is a Japanese persimmon.
The characteristic of black persimmon is that it has a clear pattern compared to ebony and rosewood, which are called karaki.

The reason why black persimmon is called high-quality wood is that if you cut about 100 trees, about one out of 100 will be black.
It is said to be a high-quality wood because there are some that have black patterns due to mutation.

Black persimmon is often used for crafts such as high-quality tea canisters and ornaments.
The reason is that persimmons are hard and have good color and luster.
These prayer beads have a high-quality and calm color.


This is a limited edition prayer beads made with plenty of high-quality black persimmon. Please get them as soon as possible!

The number of beads in the Rinzai sect is basically 108.
Even among the parishioners, few have formal rosary, and they do not hold them during zazen.
These are similar in shape to the rosary of the Soto sect, but they do not have rings.
