*About the materials

*Main bead...Starry moon linden fruit from Hainan Island

-Starry moon linden fruit from Hainan Island, China, which is considered the highest quality among starry moon linden trees, is used.

[Mysterious tree fruit loved by many people]

The name Starry Moon linden comes from the fact that the countless black spots on the tree resemble the stars in the night sky.

The only large spot that remains as a trace of the stem is likened to the moon, and a single starry moon linden fruit is likened to the universe.

The universe has been believed to be the world of Buddha since ancient times.

The story goes that the Buddha attained enlightenment under the starry bodhi tree, and this is one of the reasons why the fruit of the starry bodhi tree is so beloved.

(*There are many types of bodhi trees, and in addition to the starry bodhi tree, many other types of bodhi tree fruit are used in rosary beads. Types include the Kongo bodhi tree, Heavenly eye bodhi tree, Black dragon bodhi tree, Phoenix eye bodhi tree, Maya bodhi tree, Tiger eye bodhi tree, Five-faced bodhi tree, and Antique starry bodhi tree.)


*Parent bead and Heavenly bead...White agate (June birthstone)

Among agates, there is a type that is white in color.

The name agate was given because the stone's appearance resembles a horse's brain.

Agate is also a stone that symbolizes love, and it seems to connect blood relatives' love.

It symbolizes marital happiness, marriage luck, and love. It is said that it has the power to bring about marital harmony by allowing you to live a unique life while being surrounded by a warm family.

This time, we matched the pure white striped agate with a pure white tassel color.
It is a pure white unified bracelet.


※ The meaning of the official bracelet by sect

We made a birthstone bracelet by sect using the starry bodhi tree, which has been considered mysterious since ancient times, as the main bead and white agate, which is the birthstone for June.

This is the official bracelet of the Shingon sect.

Even if you do not have a formal rosary, you can easily wear the bracelet, and it is a rare gem as a birthstone bracelet.

One of the characteristics of the Shingon sect's official bracelets is that, according to one theory, 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 passing through two tassels on the front and back.
Also, the prayer beads that people carry with them on pilgrimages are slightly longer versions of the Shingon sect's prayer beads.  


The official bracelets by sect and decorated with birthstones are original products of Kohgen Ojuzukan.

We hope that you will keep the official bracelet of your sect close to you and wear it for a long time.


※At Kohgen Ojuzukan, we create prayer beads with a focus on the quality of the materials, the arrangement, the color of the tassels and strings, etc.

Of course, these are original products of Kohgen Ojuzukan.

A masterpiece made with the utmost care. This is a recommended product, so please use it.
