A mala bracelet, also called "nenju" or "juzu" in Japanese, is a type of bracelet used in spiritual practices for meditation and recitation of mantras. Originating in India, malas are traditional tools in Buddhist and Hindu meditation practices. Passing through Asia, they were integrated into various religious traditions, including Islam, before reaching the Western Christian world.
A full mala typically has 108 beads, symbolizing the 108 human passions, while shorter malas typically have 27 beads or some other multiple of 3. In addition to their spiritual use, malas are also popular as fashion accessories due to their beauty and presence.
In Kyoto, a family of artisans has been carrying on the tradition of making Buddhist rosaries for over 300 years. Their refined craftsmanship and attention to detail give these jewels an exceptional quality, making them precious and meaningful gifts.
