$358.00 USD

This is a chalcedony rosary of the Rinzai sect.


Chalcedony is a natural stone with the same components as quartz, and opaque to translucent stones are collectively called chalcedony.

It is generally known for its pale and gentle blue color.
It has long been believed that pale light blue represents kindness, not liking conflict and wanting to build friendly relationships, and there is also a legend that it is a stone that enhances friendship.

Chalcedony has a long history of being used as a material for crafts and sculptures.
Its unique gentleness and color have been loved since ancient times.

The surface of the pale light blue natural stone has a gentle wave pattern, and the tassels are also matched with the same color, giving this rosary a soft atmosphere.
Why not take this opportunity to try chalcedony rosary with its attractive pale color and pattern?

The number of beads in the Rinzai sect is basically 108.
Even among the parishioners, few have formal rosary, so they do not hold them during zazen.
These are similar in shape to the rosary of the Soto sect, but they do not have rings.
