Juzu Jodo Shu Buddhist Rosary

Exquisite Nichiren Buddhist Rosary for Men.

A natural masterpiece crafted from "Kurogaki" (Black Persimmon), featuring striking ink-like patterns formed over centuries.

This rosary is made from Kurogaki, a rare and precious wood from persimmon trees that are several hundred years old. Its most distinctive feature is the deep black grain, which resembles traditional Japanese Sumi ink wash paintings. Because these patterns develop naturally over a vast span of time, no two pieces are alike—each possesses a unique, captivating beauty that draws the eye and stirs the soul.

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

A timeless classic in our collection, entirely handcrafted by master artisans in Kyoto (Kyo-Nenju), preserving the exquisite quality of Japanese tradition.
