Men's prayer beads, Indian Bodhi tree, 13.2 cm, Shingon sect, compressed amber, limited edition

$622.00 USD

Limited to one item, we have combined the rare Indian Bodhi Tree with compressed amber!


There are many types of Bodhi Trees, such as the Starry Moon Bodhi Tree, the Longan Bodhi Tree, and the Phoenix Eye Bodhi Tree,
Among them, the Indian Bodhi Tree is said to be the king of Bodhi Trees and is considered a rare material.
The reason why the Indian Bodhi Tree is a rare material is that it can only be found at high altitudes and is not available in large quantities.

The Indian Bodhi Tree is a nut.
It is very hard and has a gentle texture unique to nuts when you hold it.

We cannot introduce the Indian Bodhi Tree until it arrives in stock.

The rosary shown here is made from compressed amber, with the heavenly beads, parent beads, and drop beads.

Compressed amber is made by solidifying small beads of amber and forming them into large beads.
When natural amber is carved into a large bead, the raw stone itself becomes large and the price rises considerably, but small beads are inexpensive, so the price is not so high.
It is also called the "stone of the sun," and the way it absorbs light and sparkles is very mysterious.

This is a limited edition item, so please purchase it as soon as possible.

★About the sect
Regarding Shingon sect prayer beads, one theory is that it was the Shingon sect that first brought prayer beads to Japan.
Therefore, the shape is very similar to the formal prayer beads that are used by all eight sects.
The shape is often a red string running through two tassels on the front and back.
The prayer beads that people carry with them on pilgrimages are also slightly longer versions of these Shingon sect prayer beads.
