$342.00 USD
"Jindai cedar" refers to cedar that was buried in volcanic ash during a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago and became semi-fossilized without decaying.
It would take as long as 2000 years for it to turn that quiet color.
A characteristic of Jindai cedar is that it is yellow when the log is split, but then,
it turns blue when exposed to air and finally changes to this calm gray-brown color.
The more you use it, the more it will fit your hand, and the color of the beads will become deeper and lustrous.
The longer you use it, the more it will develop its own character and change, which is interesting and fun, which is the good thing about wood.
It will become a rosary that you will love even more as your own possession.
The rosary shown here is made from blue agate, with the heavenly beads, parent beads, and drop beads made of blue agate.
Agate, with its beautiful luster and transparency, is a stone that makes the wearer look even more gorgeous.
★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 these Shingon Buddhist prayer beads.
