Juzu Jodo Shu Buddhist Rosary

Exquisite Nichiren Buddhist Rosary for Men.

Authentic Jodo Shu Buddhist Rosary for Men – Premium Seigetsu Bodhi Seeds with Burmese Jade.

This is a formal rosary specifically designed for the Jodo Shu school. Among the perennially popular Seigetsu Bodhi seeds, we have selected only the highest quality specimens for this piece. With continued use, the seeds develop a natural luster and age beautifully into a rich, honey-amber hue.

We have accented this piece with Burmese Jade (Jadeite), making it a perfect choice for those seeking a product of superior rank and elegance. Known as a "Stone of Virtue," Burmese Jade has been cherished since ancient times as a symbol of prosperity, health, and longevity. Because it is remarkably lightweight, it is also highly favored by Buddhist monks and temple practitioners.

The tassels feature the exclusive Hana-Bonten technique, an original creation by Kanbe Juzuten inspired by the lotus flower. These pure silk tassels are hand-braided using traditional Kumihimo (cord-weaving) techniques, ensuring both exceptional durability and a refined aesthetic.

A true masterpiece of craftsmanship, entirely handcrafted by master artisans in Kyoto (Kyo-Nenju), upholding a centuries-old tradition.

Material characteristics
Seigetsu Bodhi Seeds (Star and Moon)
Among all materials used for Buddhist rosaries, Bodhi seeds are held in the highest esteem. The "Seigetsu" variety is uniquely characterized by a single round indentation (the Moon) and countless small black dots (the Stars), which together represent the universe of the "Buddhist Realm." These seeds feel natural in the hand and develop a rich, deep patina over time. As one of the three sacred trees of Buddhism, it is the most traditional choice for rosaries and is said to bestow infinite blessings and supreme spiritual benefits upon the practitioner.

Burmese Jade (Jadeite)
Since ancient times, jade has been cherished across the globe as a sacred and magical stone. There are two distinct types of jade: "Jadeite" (hard jade) and "Nephrite" (soft jade). True Jade refers specifically to Jadeite, which is exceptionally rare as it is commercially mined almost exclusively in Burma (Myanmar). It is believed to possess the power to ward off evil and cleanse negative energy, and it has long been favored as a powerful amulet for health, protection, and longevity.
