This tree is planted in a wide area of ​​Asia, mainly in Thailand and India.

The grain is a little rough, but when polished it has a beautiful luster.
Along with rosewood and ebony, it is one of the most representative Chinese woods.

The beautiful grain is the characteristic of the material, and it is widely used for furniture and Buddhist altars and is widely loved.

The accent is brown quartz.

A quartz that has turned brown due to the presence of trace amounts of aluminum is called brown quartz (smoky quartz).

It is said that it has some effect on the human body and leads to health because it contains trace amounts of radioactive substances.

The transparent brown color of brown quartz is chic and goes well with adult attire.
It is finished in a color that matches well with mourning clothes at funerals.

A distinctive feature of Soto Zen prayer beads is that, like Rinzai Zen prayer beads, the official Soto Zen prayer beads are often owned by temple staff.

The shape is very similar to Rinzai Zen prayer beads, but a distinctive feature of Soto Zen prayer beads is that they have metal rings running through them.
It is unclear why they are there, but one theory is that the rings represent Bodhidharma.

As this was a popular series, we have made it available in a different style.
