With a certificate of authenticity issued by Takida Shoten, a testament to the [Takida Shoten] brand quality.

This is a formal prayer bead necklace for men, designed for the Tendai sect. It features 12mm x 5mm striped ebony (matte finish) beads, with brown quartz used for the main bead and four heavenly kings beads. It comes with a silk Karahan tassel. The prayer beads are delivered in a paulownia wood box.

Brown quartz, also known as smoky quartz, has been cherished since ancient times as a stone to ward off evil spirits. It is said to enhance strength and endurance.

These prayer beads are crafted with the skillful techniques of a Kyoto prayer bead manufacturer, who possesses a tradition of Kyoto prayer bead production. They include a tag from the Kyoto Prayer Bead Wholesale Cooperative Association, which is permitted only for traditional “[Kyoto] Prayer Beads.”

The tassel is beautifully designed with the image of a lotus flower and is made of supple, Kyoto-made silk Karahan. This silk Karahan tassel successfully integrates the shaft portion with the Bonten portion by weaving the yarn of the shaft portion into the core of the Bonten portion, resulting in a durable and difficult-to-detach tassel.

“[Honshiki Juzu]” (formal prayer beads) are formal prayer beads with shapes determined for each sect. Since prayer beads are proof of a Buddhist, please choose the prayer beads for your sect.

Prayer beads are held in the hands during prayer, allowing you to connect with the Buddha, and are essential items that should not be forgotten during Buddhist ceremonies.
