- History
- THESE BEADED BRACELETS WOULD HAVE BEEN AVAILABLE TO CHURCH MEMBERS WHO MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR NENJU AT HOME. DURING ‘GASSHO’, A GESTURE OF RESPECT THAT IS PAID TO AMIDA BUDDHA, THE BEADS ARE PLACED AROUND THE HANDS, WITH THE TASSEL HANGING DOWN DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER. THEY ARE ALSO USED DURING MEDITATION. THESE PARTICULAR NENJU ARE SIZED FOR CHILDREN. INFORMATION OBTAINED FROM REVEREND IZUMI, A LOCAL BUDDHIST MINISTER, IN 2008. FOR MORE INFORMATION, SEE PERMANENT FILE AND P20070020001.
