Japanese plum wood is characterized by its glossy brown color, and as you use it, it will become more comfortable in your hand and change to a more aged color. It comes as a set with a rosary pouch, so you don't need to buy one separately and can take it to funerals and memorial services as is. The tassel is a beautiful and supple Japanese silk floral tassel made in Kyoto, inspired by a lotus flower. It comes with a tag from the Kyoto Rosary Manufacturing and Wholesale Cooperative Association, which is only permitted to attach to traditional "Kyoto rosaries". This exquisite piece is crafted with masterful skill by a rosary maker in Kyoto. It comes with a "Kyoto Rosary Maker's Certificate" issued by Takita Shoten, a testament to the Takita Shoten brand's quality.
