Vtg Japanese Buddhist Prayer Beads Juzu
This is a vintage Japanese Buddhist prayer rosary bracelet, Juzu. It is made of black resin beads. A string holds together the whole chain, and black tassels are attached to two bigger beads. This style is commonly used in a double-layered form when praying.
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).
