Purchased at the Kiyomizu-dera Temple shop in Kyoto. This prayer bead was carefully crafted from an old tree that has witnessed the temple's view of the Pure Land of Avalokitesvara. We hope you will feel the great compassion of Kannon (Avalokitesvara) in your hands. Unused item. No box. This item has been stored at home for a long time, so there may be minor stains, scratches, scuffs, and discoloration. Returns, cancellations, and claims are not accepted if the color or texture is different from what you expected, or if there is an odor. Please do not purchase if you are concerned or if you are a perfectionist. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a smooth transaction for both parties. When shipping, I will pack the item compactly using materials I have at home.
