We have Yakusugi cedars that are characterized by their fine patterns!

Generally, it is said that cedar trees are 500 years old, but Yakusugi cedars are extraordinarily long.


Trees that are over 1000 years old are called Yakusugi cedars, and those that are under 100 years old are called Kosugi cedars.
As you know, Yakusugi cedars are also World Heritage sites.


Because Yakusugi cedars are World Heritage sites, only fallen trees can be processed.
One of the characteristics of Yakusugi cedars is that they have very fine annual rings, which attracts people who see them.

Also, as is the case with all trees, the more you use them, the deeper the color becomes.
I think that if you add a deep color to the fine patterns of the annual rings that are unique to Yakusugi cedars, you will become more and more attached to them.


Also, how about giving it as a gift to your grandparents, with the hope that they will live a long life, based on the longevity of the Yakusugi trees?


Since it is a rosary made of wood, it can be worn regardless of age. Also, it is said that even if you just carry the rosary as a talisman, it will protect you from disasters, so it will be appreciated as a gift.



★About the sect Regarding Shingon sect rosary, one theory is that it was the Shingon sect that first brought rosary to Japan.
Therefore, the shape is very similar to the formal rosary used by all eight sects. The shape is often with two tassels on the front and back, with a red string running through them.

Also, the rosary that is carried with you on the pilgrimage is a slightly longer version of this Shingon sect rosary.


It is a classic rosary among classics. Please purchase it as soon as possible.
