Men's prayer beads, Yakusugi, 13.2cm, Lotus Sutra, Nichiren sect, made to order

$280.00 USD

A rare Yakusugi rosary for the Nichiren sect.


We have Yakusugi, which features fine patterns!


Generally, it is said that cedar trees live for 500 years, but Yakusugi is extraordinarily long.


Those that are over 1000 years old are called Yakusugi, and those that are under 100 years old are called Kosugi.


As you know, Yakusugi is also a World Heritage Site. Because Yakusugi is a World Heritage Site, only fallen trees can be processed.



A characteristic of Yakusugi is that the annual rings are very fine among trees, which attracts people who see them.


Also, as is the case with all trees, the more you use it, the deeper the color becomes.


I think that if you add a deep color to the fine pattern of the annual rings that is unique to Yakusugi, you will become more and more attached to it.


Also, how about giving it as a gift to your grandparents, with the hope that they will live a long life, based on the longevity of Yakusugi trees?


Since it is a rosary made of wood, it can be worn by people of any age.

Also, it is said that even if you just carry the rosary as a talisman, it will protect you from misfortune, so it would make a great gift.
