We have prepared official Jodo sect prayer beads at a low price!


We would like to introduce products made from betel nut.

Belteum is the trunk of a palm tree in Southeast Asia, and is characterized by its very hardness and interesting grain.

The distinctive grain, which is not found in Japanese trees, is sure to attract attention.

We have prepared brown quartz from this betel tree.
Brown quartz, also known as smoky quartz, is highly transparent and has a calm light brown color.

Brown quartz is mined all over the world, but it is mainly produced in Brazil, the United States, and Madagascar.
The color of brown quartz is said to be due to the aluminum ions contained in the quartz and natural radioactivity.

However, there are still many things that have not been clarified, and it is considered a mysterious stone.
There are also mystical accounts of psychics working in the healing temples of the legendary island of Atlantis using this stone to create energy focal points.

The Jodo sect uses a double-stranded ring-crossing (ring-piercing rosary).

One strand has 27 beads, the other has 20 (or 40) beads, with 10 flat beads and 6 round disciple beads.
Unlike other sects, the official Jodo sect rosary does not have 108 main beads.
However, it is the rosary that can be counted the most.

The men's version can be counted about 30,000 times, and the women's version can be counted about 60,000 times.
The reason why the Jodo sect calls the men's rosary Sanman Jodo comes from the fact that it counts 30,000 times. ・Main ball: Diameter approx. 2.0 cm (brown crystal)
