Description

Thank you for visiting our site. Items will be shipped from Japan after confirmation by Japanese staff. We hope that we can be of any help to you. Description [Juzu] Juzu is the Buddhist rosary which has 108 beads representing 108 worldly sins. People hold the rosaries over their joined hands as they recite invocations. Irataka nenju are used by Shugenja (mountain ascetics) who perform severe ascetic practices in the steep sacred mountains throughout Japan. It is tailored using ryokudan (green wood), which is characterized by its deep green color and subdued luster. Ryokudan (gre en wood) is a mysterious tree also called "tree of life" because it was used as a special medicine for all diseases in the West in the old days. The more you use it, the more it changes its color and luster with a deep texture. Shugenja ( mountain ascetics ) rub these beads, which are shaped like abacus balls, together to make a sound when praying or reciting sutras. It is said that the sound made by rubbing the beads together is meant to destroy demons and troubles. Recently, it is often carried by ordinary people as an amulet to ward off bad luck and misfortune when climbing mountains. The tassel is a beautiful and supple Kyoto-made pure silk flower Brahma tassel with an image of a lotus flower. It comes with a tag of Kyoto Bead Manufacturing Wholesalers Association, which only traditional "Kyo-nenju" are allowed to put on. It is a gem tailored by the master craftsman of Kyoto.
