William Toyo, I will contact him later this week. Sorry I haven't replied sooner. I have been out of town and now on my long work week. Thanks for the link and email.

<p>Hi Tamu-san,</p>
<p>I made a few Ojuzu from some camouflage coloured plastic beads and parachute cording. I sent these to a Buddhist Chaplain in the Navy, who is a friend of mine, for use by Buddhist members currently deployed in Afganistan.</p>
<p>I normally get my Ojuzu from either the BCA Bookstore or a company in Japan, with all form of Buddhist ritual accessories. the website is in Japanese, but is easy to navigate, and they ship to the US with no problems. here is the website:…</p>

<p>I think what I like so much about sandalwood is the smell. I have a sandalwood 108 bead mala, that I no longer use, and a Jodo Shinshu style Onenju made of sandalwood for regular use. I also like the appearance of the wood itself. It would be nice to have a more natural feel by using wood beads and stone parent and markers. </p>

I think using a stone parent bead sounds nice. Maybe smaller, matching stones could be used for the tendama, marker, beads too. Then, members could use other beads of their choice for the rest.

<p>that sounds awesome. i really enjoyed making this. i had the beads for quite sometime.</p>
<p></p>
<p>i am very sentimental and very particular about items that i carry on my body.</p>
<p></p>
<p>i couldnt find any ojuzu that were in my price range or my material. i did not like plastic ones.</p>
<p></p>
<p>i had the beads and the hemp.</p>
<p>it was a meditation practice.</p>
<p>i would love to have one of sandalwood beads.</p>
<p>lets keep it going!! peace.</p>

<p>Here is a photo of the ojuzu that i made.</p>
<p>there are 27 beads...i forget the size mabe 7mm?? maybe 8mm. faceted fluorite beads</p>
<p>with various shades of purples and clear hues.</p>
<p>the PARENT bead is actually four beads....</p>
<p>this is strung on nice tough hemp....there is a knot before/after every bead.</p>
<p>the tassel is 12 strands of hemp.</p>
<p></p>
<p>my lighting is not so great...so the colours are muted but the sparkle is cool, ain't it though?…</p>
