About this Mala:

About Jichimu Wood:
Jichimu describes a wood whose deep brown and gray patterns when cut tangentially resemble the patterns of bird feathers. The radial cut appears less dramatically with parallel lines of concentric layered tissue. It is botanically classified in the Ormosia genus, of which as many as twenty-six species may grow in China. Jichimu is indigenous to Hainan Island, and the relatively large quantity of Jichimu furniture found in the Fujian province also corresponds to a source where seven different species are reportedly found today, and whose materials are virtually undifferentiated, yet bear varying leaf patterns. Hongdou (red bean) and Xiangsi may also be other names for related species.

This is a great looking understated but elegant piece. The wood beads were a whitish natural color and not dark brown like the picture, but still nice looking.

It’s great design and quality. It is somewhat tight on my wrist, however it has loosened in the two weeks since I’ve received it.
Male wrist.
