Men's Prayer Beads, Sandalwood, Three-Strand Hokke, Nichiren Sect, Gold-Brown Bonten Tassel

Men's Prayer Beads, Sandalwood, Three-Strand Hokke, Nichiren Sect, Gold-Brown Bonten Tassel — A Gentle Scent for Peace of Mind

A hallmark of sandalwood is its gentle, soothing fragrance released from the wood itself. It envelops the wearer in a soft aroma, easing the mind. This piece takes the fragrant wood "sandalwood," also used as an incense material, and crafts it directly into prayer beads. We use natural sandalwood sourced from Indonesia. Among fragrant woods used for incense — kyara, agarwood (jinko), and sandalwood — sandalwood's scent is especially popular among women. In recent years, sandalwood itself has become harder to obtain, and prices have risen sharply. It was once more affordable than kyara or agarwood, but the scarcity of good-quality material has driven up prices, and further increases are expected in the coming years. As a specialty incense retailer with 80 years of experience, we take great pride in our expertise with fragrant woods, so please purchase with confidence regarding the quality of this piece.
