Men's Prayer Beads, Boxwood, Chrysanthemum Carving, 18 Beads, Matching Set, String Tassel

Men's Prayer Beads, Boxwood, Chrysanthemum Carving, 18 Beads, Matching Set, String Tassel — Beautiful Carving Takes Center Stage

We introduce prayer beads made of boxwood, carved with a chrysanthemum motif. Boxwood, also used in fine furniture, has been engraved here with a chrysanthemum flower design. Boxwood is a small evergreen tree, typically 1 to 4 meters tall, with a dense, heavy grain and good elasticity. Highly absorbent of oils, it is considered ideal material for fine work such as combs. Boxwood is also used to make Shogi (Japanese chess) pieces — the crisp "click" sound made when placing a piece is said to be a quality unique to boxwood. Chrysanthemum, alongside cherry blossom, is considered a symbol of Japan. Its flower language is "nobility." Using the chrysanthemum as its motif, this piece carefully expresses the layered petals through detailed carving. In China, the chrysanthemum was also believed to have medicinal properties for longevity. Consider gifting this piece to someone important, with wishes for their long life.
