[Hotokudo] Man'ganjojujuzu Bracelet, Holly

This is a prayer bead bracelet made by a Kyoto prayer bead artisan using holly. Holly, known for the sharp thorns on its leaves, has long been considered a tree that wards off evil and misfortune. Its flower language includes "foresight" and "eternal brilliance." Holly leaves become rounder with age. The way they change shape and grow is connected to "foresight," which signifies "foresight." Because they maintain their beautiful green color even in winter and bear bright red berries, they are also an auspicious tree that symbolizes immortality and longevity.
