[108 beads]

It is believed that humans have 108 bonno (defilements of man). Bonno are the defilements of man that bewilder and distress a person and create physical and mental suffering. Joya-no kane (a bell rung at the end of the year) are rung 108 times to drive away the 108 bonno. Reflecting a desire to soothe the mind of the owner as much as possible and help them to live in good health, 108 jewels are used for the bead chain, which is said to have many good meanings and is regarded as a special number for bead chains.

The returned Omamori will be burned with gratitude in otakiage at the Koyasan Shingon Sect Nyoisan Touji-ji Temple.

[If the bead chain has been cut]

According to an old oral tradition, it is by no means only of bad omen. It is also said that the bead chain (Omamori) has guarded you by cutting off bad luck, bad omen, or bad karma for you, or another cause. However, we have polished both the surface and the string hole of each bead carefully, thus ensuring the best quality maintenance efforts to make the strings as cut-resistant as possible.
However, while we pay careful attention to quality, if the string is cut within one year during normal use (in an normal environment), we will repair it for free if you present the warranty enclosed with the Omamori. Please contact us if this occurs.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
