$529.00 USD

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


There are many types of Bodhi Trees, such as the Starry Moon Bodhi Tree, the Dragon Eye 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 with obsidian as the heavenly beads and parent beads.
Obsidian is a type of volcanic rock, and is also known as natural glass.
It comes in a variety of colors, but obsidian is particularly popular.

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

★About the sect
Regarding Shingon Buddhist prayer beads, one theory is that they were the first to bring prayer beads to Japan.
Therefore, their shape is very similar to the formal prayer beads used by all eight sects.
They often have two tassels on the front and back, with a red string running through them.
The prayer beads carried on pilgrimages are also slightly longer versions of Shingon Buddhist prayer beads.
