Its pure, clear shine also pairs elegantly with mourning attire. While inexpensive glass and plastic imitations are common today, the difference in quality is easy to see at a glance; these genuine crystal beads are hand-finished by craftsmen in Kyoto, offering lasting quality at an accessible price. This piece follows the formal Nichiren-sect style, distinguished by three tassels attached to one side of the parent bead along with ten counting beads used for chanting the sect's core invocation. Nichiren-sect practitioners often carry a full formal set with five tassels, each said to represent a part of the human body; this piece uses a crisp, tightly wound odamaki-style tassel in two colors, white and wisteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eItem Number: 6420190000000\u003cbr\u003eParent Bead (Oyadama): Approx. 0.47 in (1.2 cm) – Crystal\u003cbr\u003eMain Beads (Shudama): Approx. 0.24 in (0.6 cm) – Crystal\u003cbr\u003eTop Bead (Tendama): Approx. 0.16 in (0.4 cm) – Crystal\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kohgen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48174633615597,"sku":"6420190000000","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/3003\/7997\/files\/6420190000000_1.jpg?v=1790753828","url":"https:\/\/shop.kohgen.com\/products\/womens-prayer-beads-crystal-nichiren","provider":"Kohgen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
