Vtg Japanese Buddhist Prayer Beads Juzu
This is a vintage Japanese Buddhist prayer rosary bracelet, Juzu. It is made of a string of white agate stone beads. Two of the beads are smaller as well as the main bead at the very bottom. A pair of mossy green tassels are attached to the base of main bead. The beads appear greenish due to the green string.
Japanese Buddhist rosary bracelets (Juzu or Nenju) are used for daily religious practices as well as at funerals and other Buddhist ceremonies. When using a rosary, hold it in your left hand. When you pray, put your hands together and place the prayer beads between your index finger and thumb. If the rosary is long, hold it in two rows. (How to hold varies by denomination).
