Its coloring develops in stages over the roughly 2,000 years it takes to form: a freshly split log first reveals a pale, egg-yolk yellow, which turns blue on contact with air before finally settling into the calm gray-brown seen here. Its name, meaning 'sleeping since the age of the gods,' reflects the way this wood seems to carry a quiet trace of life even after thousands of years underground, making it a genuinely mysterious material. This piece was made possible only by the chance circumstances of an ancient natural disaster, and follows the formal Soto-sect rosary style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eItem Number: 6401290000000\u003cbr\u003eParent Bead (Oyadama): Approx. 0.59 x 0.63 in (1.5 x 1.6 cm) – Jindai Cedar\u003cbr\u003eMain Beads (Shudama): Approx. 0.43 x 0.39 in (1.1 x 1.0 cm) – Jindai Cedar\u003cbr\u003eTop Bead (Tendama): Approx. 0.35 x 0.31 in (0.9 x 0.8 cm) – Jindai Cedar\u003cbr\u003eFacing Bead: Approx. 0.51 x 0.47 in (1.3 x 1.2 cm) – Jindai Cedar\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kohgen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48174632763629,"sku":"6401290000000","price":329.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/3003\/7997\/files\/6401290000000_1.jpg?v=1790753828","url":"https:\/\/shop.kohgen.com\/products\/mens-prayer-beads-jindai-cedar-soto","provider":"Kohgen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
