Men's Prayer Beads, Green Sandalwood, Tendai Sect, Smoky Quartz Finish

Men's Prayer Beads, Green Sandalwood, Tendai Sect, Smoky Quartz Finish

This men's prayer beads set is made from green sandalwood (ryokuho, also written "green phoenix"), a Southeast Asian tree whose deep green trunk is its natural color rather than a dye. Like sendan, it carries a faint natural fragrance, and local communities have long called it the "tree of life" for its vivid green heartwood. Its calm green tone pairs well with mourning wear, lending a dignified look to the wearer's hand. It is paired with smoky quartz for the parent and top beads, finished with a kagari bonten tassel for the Tendai sect.
