Also, because of its rarity, it is called the emerald of the Orient and has been used as a noble ornament since ancient times.

★About the sect
Regarding Shingon sect prayer beads, one theory is that it was the Shingon sect that first brought prayer beads to Japan.
Therefore, the shape is very similar to the formal prayer beads that are used by all eight sects.
The shape is often a red string running through two tassels on the front and back.
The prayer beads that people carry with them on pilgrimages are also slightly longer versions of these Shingon sect prayer beads.
