Tsuyoshi & beads

I came across this thing because my other fandom wore the similar thing. I'm talking about beads.
Domoto Tsuyoshi wearing beads in the form of bracelet. I assumed he is also Buddhist. The beads called Juzu.
I quote from this site http://www.jun-gifts.com

Juzu is a circular string of small beads used to count prayers just like the Catholic rosary. Held in the hand or worn around the neck or wrist, juzu is a symbol of the Buddhist believers. Basically juzu has 108 beads(the ones held in the hand), reflecting the number of attachment to the ego or worldly desires of humankind that must be subdued. However, shortened version are common as well. It seems wearing juzu (ones worn around the wrist) have been catching on among young people here in Japan.



I noticed that Juzu a slight different in the part that there's a knot and make it similar to moslem's tasbih.





He has beads too, two kinds, plain beads and dzi/zhi beads in the form of bracelet xD
