Blue agate rosary of the Rinzai sect.


Agate is often found in lumps in volcanic rocks, and is characterized by the fact that when it is created, its color changes and stripes appear due to the influence of iron and other elements.

Agate is said to promote intelligence, longevity, and health, and is said to "give courage to the wearer" and "build smooth human relationships."

Agate comes in a variety of patterns and colors, and there are many types of agate. There are many types such as black striped agate, red agate, and orange striped agate.

Agate, which has a beautiful luster and transparency, is a stone that makes the wearer look more gorgeous.


The number of beads in the Rinzai sect is basically 108.
Even among the parishioners, few have formal rosary, so they do not hold them during zazen.
These are similar in shape to the rosary of the Soto sect, but they do not have rings.
