Now comes with a rosary bag! Starry Bodhi Tree Rosary!


We created this in response to requests for formal rosary for each sect at an affordable price!

The name Starry Bodhi Tree comes from the fact that the countless black spots on the tree represent the stars in the night sky.

The single large spot that remains as a trace of the stem represents the moon, and the single starry bodhi tree fruit represents the universe.

The universe has been believed to be the world of Buddha since ancient times.

Another reason why the starry bodhi tree fruit is so beloved is that it is said that it was under the bodhi tree that the Buddha attained enlightenment.

(※There are many types of bodhi trees, and in addition to the starry moon, many other types of bodhi tree fruit are used in prayer beads.
There are types such as the diamond bodhi tree, the heavenly eye bodhi tree, the black dragon bodhi tree, the phoenix eye bodhi tree, the Maya bodhi tree, the tiger's eye bodhi tree, the five-faced bodhi tree, and the antique starry moon bodhi tree.)

This time, we have set up a navy tiger's eye stone (blue tiger's eye stone) on this starry moon bodhi tree.

The somewhat rare navy blue (blue) tiger's eye stone has a black wave pattern on the ball, and the pattern is constantly changing depending on the light.

This phenomenon creates a pattern by emitting light collected from various angles along the fibers of the stone.

Depending on how you look at it, the pattern on the stone appears to be floating, so it is a stone that you will never get bored of looking at.

In addition, it is said that tiger's eye stone brings good fortune, so it is very popular with middle-aged and elderly working men.

A characteristic of Rinzai sect prayer beads is that they basically have 108 beads.

Even among parishioners, few people seem to have formal prayer beads, and they do not hold prayer beads during zazen.
These are similar in shape to Soto sect prayer beads, but they do not have rings.

As this was a popular series, we have made them differently tailored.

This is a masterpiece that took a lot of time and effort to make, so please try it.
