A Buddhist prayer bead, mala, japa, or japamala, is called a Juzu or nenju in Japanese. A mala or Juzu usually consists of 108 beads or can be worn as a bracelet. The bracelet version is also called wanju or udewa nenju. The 108 beads of the prayer bead represent the number of earthly desires, and each bead represents one of the 108 Buddhas who watch over all earthly desires. Smaller versions usually contain a portion of the number 108: 54 (half), 36 beads (one third), or 27 (a quarter). Common numbers for the bracelet variants range between 18 and 26 beads. The prayer beads are used, among other things, to not lose count when reciting or chanting.
