Kogen Ojuzukan original "Sect & Birthstone Series" is a recommended gem that you should definitely take a look at. *About the materials* Main bead... Starry moon bodhi fruit from Hainan Island. Starry moon fruit from Hainan Island, China, which is considered the highest quality among starry moon bodhi trees, is used. [Mysterious fruit loved by many people] The name of the starry moon bodhi tree comes from the countless black spots on the fruit, which 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 bodhi fruit represents the universe. The universe has been believed to be the world of Buddha since ancient times. Another reason why the starry moon bodhi tree is loved is that the place where Buddha attained enlightenment was under the bodhi tree. (※There are many types of bodhi trees, and in addition to the starry moon, many other types of bodhi tree fruit are used in prayer beads. There are types such as the diamond bodhi tree, the heavenly eye bodhi tree, the black dragon bodhi tree, the phoenix eye bodhi tree, the Maya bodhi tree, the tiger eye bodhi tree, the five-faced bodhi tree, and the antique starry moon bodhi tree.) ※Main bead/heavenly bead...Garnet (January birthstone) Garnet, with its rich wine-like color, is also called garnet stone because of its color that resembles a pomegranate. The origin of the word garnet is said to mean "protection from illness" in Latin. Garnet is the January birthstone, and leads to victory. It is said to be a stone that leads to success, and also has the meaning of "leading to success by continuing to make steady efforts without sparing any effort." There is also a record of a woman giving it as a pendant to a medieval knight. There is an anecdote that the pendant deflected an arrow, and it was worn with the hope of victory, and it is still used as a talisman today. When comparing garnet with quartz, we can see that garnet is about 20% heavier than quartz. Heavier means that it is hard and packed with crystals. In ancient Egypt and Europe, garnet was also thought to be effective against poor health, and it was used as a medicine to stop bleeding in addition to being used as an ornament. * The meaning of the official bracelet by sect I made a birthstone bracelet by sect using the starry bodhi tree, which has been considered mystical since ancient times, as the main bead and garnet, the birthstone for January. This is the official bracelet of the Soto sect. Even if you do not have an official rosary, you can easily wear it as a bracelet, and it is a rare gem as a birthstone bracelet. As for the characteristics of the official bracelet of the Soto sect, like the Rinzai sect, the official rosary of the Soto sect is often held by the temple. The shape is very similar to that of the Rinzai sect's rosary, but a characteristic of the Soto sect is that the rosary has a metal ring running through it. It is unclear why it is there, 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 a focus on the quality of the materials, the arrangement, and the color of the tassels and strings. Of course, this is an original product of Kohgen Ojuzukan. It is a masterpiece that has been carefully crafted.
