Men's Prayer Beads, Black Persimmon, Shingon Sect, Limited Edition

Black persimmon is a variety of Japanese persimmon wood, distinguished among fine hardwoods such as ebony and rosewood by its especially vivid, clearly defined grain. The wood earns its reputation as a premium material because of its rarity: only about one in a hundred persimmon trees felled yields wood with this dramatic black patterning, a probability that has long made it prized for fine crafts such as luxury tea caddies and ornamental objects, thanks to its hardness and rich luster. This rosary's calm, understated coloring makes it a particularly recommended choice among wood-based prayer beads, finished in the formal Shingon-sect style. Only one piece is available.
