Large beads with impressive appearance, fragrant scent of cypress
"The tree is cypress, the flower is cherry tree, the man is a warrior"
Introducing large beads of Kiso cypress beads with impressive appearance.
Because it uses larger beads than the 22-bead version, it gives a different impression even though it is made of the same material.
Kiso cypress is a term referring to natural cypress distributed from the Kiso region to the Ura Kiso region (southern Hida, Tono region).
Cypress can be harvested all over Japan, but it is said that it usually takes 30 to 40 years to become building material.
However, it takes 70 to 80 years for Kiso cypress to grow.
This is due to the influence of the climate of the Kiso Valley in Nagano Prefecture, where Kiso cypress grows.
The Kiso region has low temperatures and is especially cold in winter, making it difficult for trees to grow, but the Kiso Valley has the best conditions for trees to grow.
Hinoki has the ability to grow slenderly, has beautiful grain, and has excellent durability and antibacterial properties, so it has been used for important buildings since ancient times, such as the heartwood of the five-story pagoda of Horyuji Temple.
Kiso hinoki has overwhelmingly finer annual rings and beautiful grain compared to other hinoki.
And its soft texture, lightness, and pleasant fragrance have fascinated people since ancient times.
This time, we made a rosary using Kiso hinoki as the main bead.
According to the rosary craftsman, this is the first time that natural Kiso hinoki has been used luxuriously as a rosary material, and it is said that there is probably no other example in the rosary industry.
When you pick it up, the fragrant scent of cypress tickles your nose.
The chic color of the brown crystal goes well with mourning clothes and dark-colored suits.
Please use these prayer beads with the unique scent of Kiso cypress, its soft texture, and beautiful grain when you visit your local shrine. ・Main ball: Diameter approx. 1.8cm (brown crystal)
・Main ball: Diameter approx. 1.6cm (Kiso cypress)
