The item is a men’s rosary, which is a type of Buddhist prayer beads used for meditation and chanting. The Japanese and Sanskrit names of Kokūzō Bodhisattva (the patron deity of the ox and tiger zodiac signs) are engraved on the parent bead.

Compared to stone rosaries, it is lighter and does not feel cold, and has a smooth and gentle wood texture that fits your hand. The tassel is made of high-quality silk, which has a good touch and is twisted into a ring shape at the end to prevent fraying and improve durability. It comes with a special paulownia box, which is ideal for storing the rosary as it has insect-proof and moisture-proof effects.
