Nenju or juzu is a Japanese mala. We've found in Kyoto a family of craftsmen who have been making Buddhist rosaries for more than 300 years. Their meticulous finishing touch reflects Japanese aesthetics and converts these malas into precious conscious gifts.
The word “mala” in Sanskrit means garland of roses and it was originated in India. From Buddhism and Hinduism, it passed to Islam and from Islam it was passed on to Christianity in times of the Crusades. The malas or rosaries are used to count the devotional words or recitations in meditation with mantras. This consists of repeating words to generate vibrations. It is placed on one hand and a bead is taken. Each time it is recited, the mala rotates and passes to the next bead. It is an effective way to stay in the present and to appease the mind, achieving peace and silence.
The complete rosary usually has 108 beads, symbol of the 108 human passions. You can also find bracelets with 27 beads or any other number usually multiple of 3.

HOW TO CHOOSE MY MALA?
INTENTION AND PURPOSE
INTENTION AND PURPOSE
There are many criteria for choosing a mala or a mala bracelet (spiritual tradition, color, aesthetics…). Tradition assigns each material—whether wood, bone, seeds, or stone—its own spiritual meaning.
What purpose do you wish to cultivate? Here is a small guide.
-
Wood.
Since ancient times, many traditions have attributed benefits to wood for both body and mind. It is used for all kinds of intentions: grounding, stability, serenity, support for meditation.
-
Seeds.
Lotus seeds are said to increase wisdom; rudraksha provides protection and spiritual connection; and bodhi-tree beads connect with enlightenment.
-
Stones.
They are used to soothe and calm. Each mala vibrates with the frequency and color of the stone it is made of. Choose the one that aligns with your intention
-
Bone.
With deep shamanic symbolism, it reconnects us with impermanence. It is used in practices to transcend fear, overcome negative energies, and generate compassion. When combined with inlays, its powerful energy becomes balanced.
IN THE PRESENT, MY MIND BECOMES CALM
Mala in Sanskrit means “garland of roses.” This object originated in India with Hinduism. Its use passed into Buddhism and later into Islam, which transmitted it to Christianity during the Crusades in the form of the rosary.
The mala is used to count devotional words or recitations during mantra meditation. This practice consists of repeating words to generate vibrations: you hold it in one hand and take one bead. With each recitation, you rotate the mala and move on to the next bead. It is an effective way to remain in the present and soothe the mind.
Complete rosaries contain 108 beads, symbolizing the 108 human passions. Mala bracelets usually have 24 beads, or any other number that is typically a multiple of 3. They are personal accessories that define our personality and character, and in all traditions they are attributed a magical protective energy.
