It looks like a prayer bead or a japamala, it's very similar to those used by christians, I think for the latter each "marble" is a prayer, but honestly I don't know how it is used in asian religions

念珠です。
It is ‘Nenju’ for buddhist ceremony

数珠(じゅず juzu)、あるいは、念珠(ねんじゅ nenju)でしょうか。

◆
数珠は礼拝時に必ず手に掛けましょう
素手で礼拝することは仏様を鷲づかみする行為と同じです。
また、数珠の輪の中に手を通すことで、浄土の世界と繋がると
されています。
etc.

It is called “Juzu”. 数珠
I use it in some ceremonies
or funerals of buddist.
In these ceremonies, I usually hold it a hand.
When a priest recite a sutras or I pray, I join my hands hanging it on one of my hand.
Does my explanation make a sense?

I believe it’s not nenjyu.
Nenjyu has big long fringe (usually it has two fringe).
This bracelet we usually call 数珠ブレスレット(jyuzu buresuretto).
Never use at ceremony.

I think so, because Japanese Buddhist is quite easy one.
So you can buy cheap juzu at some souvenir shops in some temples.
But actually, I found that your photo’s one might be bracelet.
Usually, they have bushy tassel.

You can wear “juzu bracelet” every day. But if you wear real “juzu” every day, it seems strange. Only priest or serious buddies do that.
You can get juzu bracelet at some accessory stores or stone shops.

@maika44 Yes, it is. In my opinion it’s not concern with buddhism.
