Size: Approximately 4.0mm in diameter Length: Approximately 95cm Weight: Approximately 27g Made in Japan, these are strings of glass beads used for Buddhist altar fittings, dating from the Meiji to Taisho eras. They are carefully made, with mostly uniform beads, and are still strung on the original thread. These beads are clear but have a nice aged color. They are perfect for use as material. There are slight variations in the glass quality, unique to this era, as well as minor imperfections and wrinkles. Occasionally, some beads may be stuck together. Also, there is age-appropriate wear, discoloration, and dirt. #Aochans #Meiji #Taisho #Era #Antique #BuddhistAltarFittings #Glass #Beads #JapaneseBeads #Tonbodama (Lampwork Glass Beads)
