Men's Juzu Prayer Beads: Tsuge Shippo-bori with Hosoge Carvings

This rosary is for men and can be used by all sects.

What is Hōsōge (imaginary flower)?

Hōsōge (imaginary flower) is a decorative pattern motif of an imaginary flower.
It was widely used in Buddhist art, architecture, and crafts during China's Tang dynasty and Japan's Nara and Heian periods.

The material is natural boxwood, and each bead is carefully carved with Hōsōge by an artisan. The details are meticulously carved, resulting in a uniformly beautiful finish.

The main bead, ten beads, and bosa bead are smoky quartz with cherry blossom carvings.
Although this rosary has a very rare and elaborate design, the use of similar colors gives it an elegant and substantial finish.

The tassel is made of genuine silk in calm colors, giving it an elegant and luxurious finish.

Since it is made of pure silk, it can be used for a long time.

This rosary is assembled with slightly larger beads, with main beads measuring 16mm and parent beads measuring 18mm.
It has a dignified finish and is also recommended for larger individuals.

Comes in a paulownia wood box for safe storage.

Nakajima Buddhist Altar Shop

As I've grown older, I've started wanting a high-quality, beautiful juzu (rosary) as one of the refinements for adults.
This time, a connection was made with Nakajima Butsudan-ten, a Buddhist altar and ritualistic goods store in Gifu City, which allowed for the custom production of a juzu.

As a "Kyoto Juzu Authorized Dealer," Mr. Nakajima's juzu are meticulously handcrafted, with each step performed manually.
After numerous discussions about the choice of materials and color combinations, an elegant and beautiful juzu was created.
I want to own a juzu that will last a lifetime, one that brings peace and purification to my heart whenever I hold it, not just during Buddhist ceremonies.
