Black persimmon is a variety of Japanese persimmon known for a clearer, more distinctive grain pattern than that of ebony or rosewood, the classic 'karaki' hardwoods. Its status as a premium material comes from its scarcity – only about one in a hundred persimmon trees felled yields wood with this striking black patterning, the result of a natural mutation. Black persimmon is prized for crafts such as fine tea canisters and ornamental pieces, owing to its hardness and rich luster, and lends these beads a calm, refined color. Here it is paired with Itoigawa jade, itself an already rare material; large beads of this size suited for men's prayer beads are seldom available, making it uncertain when a piece like this will be offered again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eItem Number: 6905030000000\u003cbr\u003eParent Bead (Oyadama): Approx. 0.63 in (1.6 cm) – Itoigawa Jade\u003cbr\u003eMain Beads (Shudama): Approx. 0.51 in (1.3 cm) – Black Persimmon\u003cbr\u003eTop Bead (Tendama): Approx. 0.43 in (1.1 cm) – Itoigawa Jade\u003cbr\u003eBead Count: 22 Beads\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kohgen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48174691746029,"sku":"6905030000000","price":967.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/3003\/7997\/files\/6905030000000_1.jpg?v=1790756715","url":"https:\/\/shop.kohgen.com\/products\/mens-prayer-beads-black-persimmon-itoigawa-jade-22-head","provider":"Kohgen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
