Men's prayer beads made of betel nut, three-paired hokke and aventurine
The Sanso Hokke rosary was made from the rare betel nut.
We would like to introduce the Sanso Hokke rosary, made from the very rare betel nut.
★What is Sanso Hokke?
Sanso Hokke is used as a rosary exclusively for men in the Nichiren sect (Hokke sect).
In addition, Nisou Han Hokke is used for both men and women, and Nisou Hokke is used exclusively for women.
Generally, Nisou Han Hokke rosary is widely used in the Nichiren sect.
★Characteristics of Nichiren sect rosary
A characteristic of Nichiren sect rosary is that one side of the main bead has three tassels.
In addition, there are 10 disciple beads for the purpose of chanting the daimoku (Namu Myoho Renge Kyo).
It seems that Nichiren sect members often have formal rosary.
The rosary has five tassels, and there are various theories that each tassel represents a human body.
★Characteristics of the material
Betel nut is the trunk of a palm tree in Southeast Asia. It is very hard and has a distinctive striped pattern that is not found in Japanese cedar or cypress. The distinctive grain, which is not found in Japanese trees, is sure to attract attention.
Betel nut is not often used for Sanso Hoke rosary, and it is a substitute that our shop has specially prepared. Betel nut is very hard and sturdy, so it can be used for generations.
This time, we have made aventurine (Indian jade) into this betel nut Sanso Hoke rosary.
It is said that jade contains the words health, longevity, and virtue in the stone,
and it has been believed since ancient times that it will help you live a long, healthy and happy life.
It is probably because this stone has been closely connected to people's lives since ancient times that it has come to be entrusted with earnest hopes for health, longevity, and the like.
It is also considered a good stone for human relationships, including family relationships.
The color is a gentle green, giving off a calm impression regardless of age, making it a rosary that can be used by people of all ages.
・Main bead: Diameter approx. 0.8cm (betel nut)
