Limited to one item, we have combined the classic quartz with the vibrant blue lapis lazuli!


This rosary is made of the classic quartz and lapis lazuli.
Quartz is the most common material for rosary beads,
It is said to bring harmony to the home and office because adjacent crystals are formed at a certain angle.

Lapis lazuli is one of the oldest and most powerful natural stones, along with quartz.
It is considered a "sacred stone" that exorcises evil spirits in many countries around the world.

It has been treasured since ancient times, as it was worn by the Sumerian and Mesopotamian civilizations, as well as the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
It is also counted as one of the seven treasures in the Buddhist world, and in Japan it has been considered a stone of happiness along with quartz.
It is a natural stone that is characterized by its vibrant blue color like the deep sea and gold threads here and there, as it was once used as a raw material for ultramarine.

Large lapis lazuli beads for men are very rare and highly valuable.

This is a limited edition item, so please purchase it as soon as possible.


★About the sect
Regarding Shingon Buddhist prayer beads, one theory is that they were the first to bring prayer beads to Japan.
Therefore, they are very similar in shape to the formal prayer beads used by all eight sects.
They often have two tassels on the front and back, with a red string running through them.
The prayer beads carried on pilgrimages are also slightly longer versions of these Shingon Buddhist prayer beads.
