Tianzhu Bodhi Tree Rosary Bracelet 17cm

This bracelet embodies the concept of “the fusion of prayer beads and bracelets”, featuring natural stones traditionally used in prayer beads adorned with Oda-maki Bonten, crafted using the traditional kumihimo braiding technique.

This unisex bracelet is worn as an amulet to ward off bad luck and make wishes come true.

In Buddhism, it is said that Buddha attained enlightenment (bodhi) under various trees, collectively referred to as bodhi trees.
The more it is worn, the greater its lustre becomes, gradually transforming into an amber hue. Made with 54 beads, half the number found in a traditional 108-bead rosary. It gives a sense of distinction among bracelets.
The elastic band is made of four layers of durable and elastic silicone rubber.
It is a classic item, handmade by a skilled rosary craftsman in Kyoto.
