We have prepared prayer beads made from high-quality black persimmon!

Black persimmons are a type of astringent persimmon and are Japanese persimmons.
The characteristic of black persimmons is that they have a clearer pattern than ebony and rosewood, which are called karaki.


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


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


This time, we applied real lacquer to these black persimmons to create prayer beads that express the color and grain of the black persimmon more beautifully.
