*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.

Also, the story that the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree is one of the reasons why the fruit of the Starry Bodhi Tree is loved.

(*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 prayer beads. There are types such as the Diamond 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.)



Aventurine (May birthstone)

Aventurine is also called Indian jade.
It is said that Aventurine calms emotions and allows you to open your heart to others.

In ancient Tibet, it was revered as a "stone that enhances insight."

Aventurine is said to have the words health, longevity, and virtue in it, and it is believed that it will help you live a long, healthy, and happy life.
It would make a great gift.


※The meaning of the official bracelets for each sect※

We have created a birthstone bracelet for each sect using aventurine, the birthstone for May, and the starry-moon bodhi tree, which has long been considered mystical, as the main bead.

This is the official bracelet of the Soto 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.

As a feature of the official bracelet of the Soto sect, like the Rinzai sect, the official rosary of the Soto sect is often held by temple staff.

The shape is very similar to the rosary of the Rinzai sect, but a characteristic of the Soto sect is that the rosary has a metal ring running through it.
It is unclear why it is included, but one theory is that this ring represents Bodhidharma.

The official bracelets for each sect, 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 rosaries with particular attention to the quality of the materials, the arrangement, the color of the tassels and strings, etc.

Of course, this is an original product of Kohgen Ojuzukan.

This is a masterpiece that has been carefully crafted. We recommend that you use it.
