108 beads of Black Sandalwood (黑檀, hei tan) in deep matte night-tones, the plain honest build of the rest of the Plain series. Unfussy, sturdy, and dark as a chapel after candlelight. For anyone who prefers their practice tools plain and their wood black.
Meaning: A plain 108 in matte black: no ornament, no message beyond the count and the hand. Understatement as its own statement.
Scent: Faint plain-wood warmth. Honest note: Black Sandalwood is an ebony-family wood, not the scented kind.
Feel: Matte and quiet, dense for its weight. Takes a slow hand-polish sheen over months of use.
Care: Wood. No soaking. Dry or barely-damp cloth. Store in a pouch.
