Bowes: "180. A collection of beads (judzu), the entire surfaces of which are enamelled. They were used in the rosaries of the monks in Japan."

'Judzu' is also a word used in China for 'beads' in general. 'Rosaries' could refer to either prayer bracelets or mala necklaces.

Too many times, 'Ojime' simply refers to beads with holes large enough to be adapted for usage as slide closures for inro.

History changes through interpretation.
