Mass Production of Cores with Consistent Tension Through Collaboration of Artisans and Machinery

Prayer beads consist of beads and thread, and the process of twisting the thread and assembling the core is crucial. Traditionally, artisans hand-crafted the core or used a braiding board.At Yamada Nenjudou, we have mechanized this four-strand braiding process to ensure consistent, flexible, and taut tension across all products.
This combination of craftsmanship and automation allows us to maintain the perfect tension required for high-quality beads.
