$218.00 USD

Black onyx rosary of the Rinzai sect.


Black onyx is a type of agate, a collection of small quartz.

Once onyx was considered a "charm to ward off evil" and has been used as a talisman and amulet to ward off evil since ancient times.

It has been used as a talisman to ward off evil thoughts and bad energy, so it is believed that people who are easily emotional can suppress their excitement and become rational when they wear it.

Black natural stone, which is not often seen for women, is made with black tassels.

The black rosary, which has no color at all, may look plain at first glance, but it is simple yet beautiful and eye-catching.

The black color blends well with the color of mourning clothes, and also elegantly brings out the skin color of the person wearing it, making it look very solemn.

The number of beads in the Rinzai sect is basically 108.
Few parishioners seem to have formal rosary, and they do not hold them during zazen.
The shape is similar to that of the Soto sect's rosary, but this one does not have rings.
