Men's rosary, ebony, 12 shaku Shingon sect, blue quartz
$373.00 USD
These ebony prayer beads are characterized by the warmth of the wood.
Ebony is a tree native to southern India and Sri Lanka that grows slowly, so the material is hard and it is often used for furniture and Buddhist altars.
These prayer beads are made using a bare finish, where the beads are polished without any coating, making the most of the quality of the material.
The prayer beads shown here are made with blue quartz as the top and parent beads.
These prayer beads are made of highly transparent quartz, despite their deep color, making them an impressive prayer bead.
★About the sects
Regarding Shingon prayer beads, one theory is that they were the first to bring prayer beads to Japan.
Therefore, their shape is very similar to that of formal prayer beads that are used by all eight sects.
The shape is often characterized by two tassels on the front and back, each with a red string running through them.
The prayer beads carried on pilgrimages are also slightly longer versions of the Shingon Buddhist prayer beads.
