Juzu Size Guide

Most of our Juzu designs are offered in Medium, Large and X-Large sizes, and this guide is to help clarify and clearly provide a side-by-side comparison between the sizes and help you identify which size is right for you.

Please double check the size measurements of each Juzu design you are considering BEFORE placing your order. Beads used in the main body of our Juzu have a slight variation in diameter and therefor each size (Medium, Large, X-Large) will vary depending on the Juzu design and the stones used.

​It is highly recommended that you measure your current Nichiren Juzu so that you can choose a size which is most similar. If you do not currently have Nichiren Juzu, you should measure a friends Juzu for reference, or you can cut a string or thin rope and tie it in a loop to the measured Juzu circumference from our website. Then hold the string/rope between your hands as though you were holding Juzu to see which length you prefer. 

You will find that individual beads are similar in size in Medium, Large and X-Large, and the number of significant beads of meaning is exactly identical. The only difference is the number of additional spacer beads in the middle section of the Juzu, just inside of the Shakyamuni and Taho beads (as shown in the photo below). The spacer beads do not hold any meaning and do not change the meaning or authenticity of the Juzu - they only provide length.

Juzu Care Guide

Our Juzu are designed to last, but it is up to you to treat them like you want them to last!

That is why we've put together this Juzu Care Guide :)

​Here we have listed a few simple pieces of advice to help you make sure that your Lotus Lion Design Juzu stay strong and beautiful for many years to come!

​(And remember, this advice applies to all Juzu, not just Lotus Lion Design Juzu :)
Do hold your Juzu so that the main body of the Juzu hangs naturally between your hands and the large Shakyamuni and Taho beads rest close to your knuckles
Don't bunch the main body of your Juzu into a ball between the palms of your hands or hold your Juzu so that the large Shakyamuni and Taho beads hang down away from your knuckles and closer to your wrists
Do loosely wrap your Juzu around the palm of your hand when holding them
Don't fold, pinch, squeeze or bunch your Juzu
Do store your Juzu in a Juzu Bag to protect the stones and help them keep their polish. Always wrap the Juzu in a circle around the palm of your hand before placing in the Juzu Bag. If the Juzu is for home use only, you can wrap the Juzu in a loose circle around the palm of your hand and lay flat on a table or in a drawer
Don't rub your Juzu during Daimoku Gongyo. This will cause the wires to twist and eventually fray, breaking the Juzu. This will also cause the stones to lose their polish
