About Plum Wood
Prayer beads (juzu) made from plum trees are considered to be a very auspicious and noble material in Buddhism, and are primarily seen as symbols of vitality, equality, and peace.
About Shell Beads
This product uses relatively rare seashell beads as spacers for its prayer beads.
These seashell beads are made by wrapping seashell fragments in resin to create round beads.
A unique characteristic is that they produce a rainbow of colors depending on the light. This is also a characteristic of seashells.
In Japan, Buddhists have Prayer beads (Juzu, Nenju). Kyoto is famous as a producing center of Prayer beads.
Prayer beads are a traditional tool used to count the number of times a mantra is recited, breaths while meditating, counting prostrations, or the repetitions of a buddha's name.
