Hiiragi's prayer beads KOUBAI
（bombay blackwood × grayish pink）
The most popular variety since the brand's early days, dark wooden beads paired with soft pink tassels.
For this series, we have chosen the unglazed wooden beads called Tagayasan, which have beautiful slightly grayish stripes. The chic yet gentle pink tassel color conveys femininity.
ーBeads ー
Bombay blackwood
An evergreen tree of the Fabaceae family. One of the three major karaki woods (rosewood, ebony, and bombay blackwood). It is a heavy, hard, and dense material that was used for Buddhist altars and crafts, but it is becoming a rare material. Hiiragi's bombay blackwood is hand-ground, so you can enjoy its distinct stripes.
ーTassels ー
Sakura Nezumi
Sakura Nezumi is a dull, light cherry blossom color that is a combination of pale pink and gray.
ーBox ー
