Description: This is an example of the double-ring onenju (Buddhist prayer beads) used in the Jodo Shu school in Japan. One right counts a single recitation of the nenbutsu, while the other ring counts a single revolution of the first ring. Additional beads hang from the strings for further units of counting.
