Shingon Buddhism Rosary Beads Japan Traditional Juzu Mens Mantracarving Yakusugi Description Condition : New This is a formal rosary for men of the Shingon sect, with the Fudo Shingon mantra carved into the Yakusugi cedar that grows naturally on Yakushima, a World Heritage Site. Currently, cutting down Yakusugi cedar is prohibited, and it is only permitted to be harvested from fallen trees caused by typhoons, etc., making it a rare, high-quality material. Yakusugi cedars have survived in harsh natural environments for over 1,000 years, and they contain an abundance of resin to protect themselves, which gives off a soothing fragrance. The Fudo Shingon mantra is a sutra consisting of 23 Sanskrit characters that is chanted when praying to Fudo Myo-o. Fudo Myo-o, affectionately known as "O-Fudo-san," is an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, and is a miraculous Buddha who is always living in flames under his orders, destroying all obstacles and all evil. It is said that if you chant the Fudo Mantra with all your heart, you will receive blessings from Acala that will help you achieve your wishes, such as prosperity in business and protection from disasters. The Fudo Mantra is carefully and minutely carved into the mystical Yakusugi cedar, which is said to be home to gods, and the central bead is carved with the Sanskrit character for Acala, making this a rosary that will allow you to always feel close to its merits.
