★About Jodo Shinshu rosary
This sect was created in the Kamakura period by Shinran, a disciple of Honen, who developed Honen's teachings of Pure Land faith.
It preached that all people, regardless of status, can go to the Pure Land by chanting the Nembutsu.

One tassel has 21 disciple beads, while the other has no disciple beads and is tied with a knot called Rennyo Musubi.

★Characteristics of the material
This Jodo Shinshu rosary is made with striped ebony and tiger's eye stone.

●Striped ebony
The secret to its popularity is its calm color.
These rosary beads have the warmth that only wood can give you.

The longer you use striped ebony, the deeper its color will become, so you can use it for a long time and enjoy the changes in color.

Also, 10 to 20 years ago, striped ebony with a glossy varnish was popular, but recently, non-glossy striped ebony has become popular.

●Tiger's Eye Stone
Tiger's eye stone, which has been called the eye stone of God since ancient times, fascinates people with its brilliance and is the most popular natural stone in our store.

Its characteristic is the beautiful streaks of light that appear as if they are floating up.
It was named tiger's eye stone because the streaks of light look like tiger's eyes.
