You'll see people wearing sets of large round beads around their necks in order to give themselves the appearance of a Holy Man, but the style pictured here is for counting repetitions of mantras, going deep within the heart, rooting out greed, anger, and ignorance, and serving the cause of all living beings.

I always like that The Tendai style mala or Nenju can't be worn like a necklace. It looks and feels a lot like a abacus and isn't very decorative although it is quite sturdy. Reminds me of the people that use them.
