Hiiragi's prayer beads Yomogi
（Star-moon linden tree × green yellowish brown）
The star-moon linden tree has been used as beads for prayer beads since ancient times. Since the point is decorated with wisteria stone, it is customary to match the tassels with similar colors, but for Hiiragi, we matched them with green yellowish brown(japanese name "ao-kuchiba").
ーBeads ー
Star-moon linden tree
It is said that Buddha was at the foot of the Bodhi tree when he attained enlightenment, and it is one of the three sacred trees of Buddhism (birth = the tree of peace, death = the sal tree, and enlightenment = the linden tree). The star-moon linden tree is a bead made from polished tree seeds, and its name comes from the fact that the small spots resemble stars and the occasional holes resemble the moon.
ーTassels ー
green yellowish brown(ao-kuchiba)
The leaves have a dull greenish color and are yellowish-green with an astringent taste. In Sei Shonagon's ``Makura no Soshi'', ``Ao-kuchiba'' is described as the color of special cloth prepared when a festival approaches, indicating that it was already a popular color for men's formal clothing during the Heian period.
