Wooden prayer beads with a serene atmosphere


The tree used for these prayer beads was planted in the outer gardens of Jingu Shrine, and since the end of the Edo period, it was located at Rokudo-no-tsuji, about 400m south of the current location, so it is a rare tree also called "Rokudo-ki".

The tree is also known by the colloquial name "Nanjamonja", and it blooms white flowers around May, and when in full bloom, it looks as if snow has piled up on the branches.

It is one of the famous attractions of the outer gardens of Jingu Shrine.

These prayer beads are made of Rokudo-ki, which has been cut into an orthodox round shape,

and shaped to give off a serene atmosphere.

This time, we have trimmed yellow quartz into this Rokudo-ki.

The golden glow of yellow quartz, reminiscent of the sun, is a natural stone that will make you feel calm just by looking at it.

There is also a theory that it was once a stone that brings prosperity and wealth to business, and was favored by the upper classes as it attracted people around them, made things run smoothly, and built up wealth and fortune.

This time, we have made a particularly large yellow quartz.
This is a rosary that we recommend. Please take a look.
