About Us

Hi there, Bodhisattvas of the Earth!

  • My name is Rob, and I’ve been practicing with SGI for just over 20 years now.
  • Last summer I started creating custom juzu beads as gifts for my SGI friends. When I started, I was thinking a lot about President Toda and how he made his own beads out of bottle caps in prison. I thought…wouldn’t it be cool to make unique, one-of-a-kind beads…where every set, and even every bead, was completely unique. So with lots of trial and error trying to figure out sizes, and ways to string and knot beads, that’s what I did. Now I decided to start selling these beads to other members on the web.
  • I’m not sure I’ll benefit much financially from doing this, since each set of beads can take up to 10 hours to make. But I enjoy doing it, and love the idea of members having beads that are one-of-a-kind and express their individuality.
  • I’m located outside of Boston, MA
  • The beads listed here are just ones I currently have. Since every set is custom, feel free to send my your color choices: match your favorite jacket, your favorite color…whatever!
  • You can see how they’re made here .

Thanks for stopping by, and let me know if you see something you like!
