This formal juzu for men, for the Jodo Shinshu sect, is crafted from chic, plain ebony with accents of dragon-pattern agate (ryumon agate), featuring a distinctive dragon scale pattern. Plain processing is a process in which the beads are polished without any coating, in order to bring out the best in the material. This process, which is difficult to achieve with beads of high quality, allows you to experience the natural texture and feel of ebony. The dragon-pattern agate accents have long been prized as auspicious symbols, with the dragon's scale pattern naturally emerging from the agate. In ancient China, it was believed that anyone who held a dragon-patterned agate, which was said to possess a mystical spiritual energy, would have their wishes come true. The combination of the powerful ebony mandarin beads and the imposing pattern of the dragon-patterned agate is outstanding, creating a masculine and robust aura. The tassel is made of elegant pure silk cord braided with two colored cords. It comes with a tag from the Kyoto Rosary Manufacturing Wholesale Cooperative, which is permitted to be attached only to traditional Kyoto prayer beads. This is a masterpiece crafted with the expert skills of a Kyoto prayer bead maker. It comes with a Kyoto prayer bead maker's production certificate issued by Takita Shoten, proof of Takita Shoten's brand quality.
