Striped ebony — the darkwood of fine string instruments — finished matte (subiki) so the natural grain shows as quiet ink-lines through each bead.
The restraint is the point: no gloss, no accent stone, just wood, grain, and the hand of the maker. A minimal, gender-neutral piece and an easy entry into Kyoto juzu craft.
Hand-strung in Kyoto.
Material: Main beads: Striped ebony, matte finish · Cord: Polyurethane elastic
Size: Inner ø 16.5 cm (6.5")
Origin: Kyoto, Japan. Hand-finished by master Kyoto juzu artisans.
Each piece is handmade — natural variations in grain, color, and bead size are part of the craft.
