About Yakusugi Cedar
Yakusugi cedar is a type of cedar that grows naturally in the mountainous areas of Yakushima Island at altitudes exceeding 500 meters. Currently, logging of Yakusugi cedar is prohibited, and only "buried wood" such as stumps and fallen trees can be processed, making it a rare and high-grade material. Because "Yakusugi cedar" is said to sound like "yakusugashi" (meaning "passing misfortune"), it is cherished as a charm for longevity, protection from evil, prosperity, good fortune, and luck.

In Japan, Buddhists use prayer beads (Juzu, Nenju). Kyoto is famous as a center for prayer bead production.
