Large Juzu / Buddhist Prayer Beads / Japanese / Vintage

Description

IMPORTANT NOTE:
We are able to ship to most countries in Europe, Asia, Oceania, and North America. Due to the pandemic, however, there are still some countries in Europe and elsewhere that we cannot ship to, and so those countries remain blocked.
Please also note that tracking is available to most countries in Asia and Europe (Japan Post’s fee is an additional US.50 per parcel), but not yet to North America and Oceania.
This rather large set of Japanese
juzu
, or Buddhist prayer beads, is probably 50-75 years old. The beads are made of wood and glass.
There is general wear and dustiness, and three beads have some quite noticeable chips (as shown), but there is no other significant damage.
Size:
Most of the beads are about W7/16" (10mm). When laid in a rough circle as shown in the last sample photo, the overall diameter is about W15 1/8" (385mm).
This item is set to ship via Air Mail, and should arrive within 7-14 days after being posted.
The postage charge shown for this listing applies to shipping anywhere in the world outside of Asia.

General Note about Shipping:
Unless otherwise indicated, we ship all of our items via Standard Air Mail. Nonetheless, we are always happy to change shipping methods if faster (and thus more expensive) or cheaper (and thus slower) shipping is desired. The shipping options available are (from fastest and most expensive to slowest and least expensive): EMS, Air Mail, SAL (economy airmail), Surface.
Registered mail with tracking is also available for an additional US.50 above the standard Air Mail shipping cost stated in the description.
We are glad to combine multiple items for shipping, and of course will discount some of the postage charges for each item after the first one. Please note that the shipping discount is not large for heavy items, but for small, light things we will discount the shipping charges by 40-100 percent, depending on how heavy it is and how it needs to be packed.
We ship at least once and very often twice a week, and so most of the time items will be in the mail within no more than 10 business days after we have received payment. We also always send a brief note informing buyers when their items have shipped.
