This is a new men's smoky quartz prayer beads set with a new Kyoto chirimen (crepe fabric) prayer bead pouch. These are a single strand of prayer beads that can be used for any Buddhist sect. (Some sects, such as Nichiren Buddhism, may have different shapes.) 《Features of Smoky Quartz Prayer Beads》 Smoky quartz is a brown to smoky translucent quartz, called "smoky quartz" in English. Its calm color gives it an elegant and gentle impression. It is semi-transparent and brown, and gently transmits light when exposed to it. While it has a soft impression, it has a moderate weight as it is a stone. 《Common Meanings Associated with Smoky Quartz》 ・Calms the mind ・Soothes anxiety ・Dispels evil spirits and wards off misfortune *From a religious perspective, prayer beads are primarily tools for chanting sutras and clasping hands, rather than for their "stone's efficacy." 《Prayer Bead Details》 Includes a paulownia box (see 2nd photo) Material: Smoky Quartz / Pure Silk Tassel / 25 beads in total Main beads: 22 beads (approx. 12.8mm) Parent bead: 1 bead (approx. 16mm) Child beads: 2 beads (approx. 10mm) Manufacturer: Japan, Kyoto, Jukodo 《Prayer Bead Pouch Details》 Material: Kyoto Chirimen (crepe fabric) / Lattice pattern Width: Approx. 15cm Height: Approx. 10cm Depth: Approx. 1.5cm Open size: Approx. 20cm Main color: Black Manufacturer: Japan, Kyoto, Kyosen-do 【Hint】 When storing the prayer beads in the pouch, place the tassels inside (see 4th photo). *This will prevent damage to the tassels and avoid creasing, allowing for long-term use.
