This bracelet features the carvings of the four gods, the Blue Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, and the Black Tortoise, which are said to ward off misfortune and bring good fortune. The four gods are carefully carved into high-quality, sparkling quartz crystal. Combined with the mysterious Yakusugi cedar, which is said to be home to gods, this is a powerful rosary bracelet.
Yakusugi, which grows naturally on Yakushima Island, a World Heritage Site, is currently prohibited from being cut down, and is a rare, high-quality material that can only be harvested from fallen trees that have been toppled by typhoons. Yakusugi, which has survived in a harsh natural environment for over 1,000 years, has an abundance of resin to protect itself, and this resin gives off a soothing fragrance. You can feel the aura of life that the ancient forest has in Yakusugi, which is full of vitality and elegance.
The middle thread is made of elastic and durable operon rubber (silicon rubber). This is a masterpiece made by a Kyoto rosary craftsman with expert skills.

What are the Four Gods?
Since ancient times in China, land protected by the gods has been called "land suited to the four gods," and in Feng Shui it represents an ideal land considered to be the most auspicious.
The four gods are the guardian deities that rule over the east, west, north and south: Seiryu (Blue Dragon) of the east, Byakko (White Tiger) of the west, Suzaku (Red Bird) of the south, and Genbu (Black Tortoise) of the north.
The Azure Dragon brings success, advancement in career and wealth.
The White Tiger is the incarnation of the Moon Goddess and brings safety in the home, fertility and safe childbirth.
Suzaku wards off disasters and difficulties and brings peace and prosperity.
Genbu wards off illness and brings good health and longevity.
It is made from beautiful beads that are carefully selected by rosary artisans in Kyoto and carefully crafted for use in rosaries.
The shine, color, and hole finish are all unique, making this a gem that you won't find anywhere else.
