It is made by hand in a workshop in Takaoka.

In Japan, dragons have been worshipped as the god of water. You can almost always find dragons at shrines and temples. The lightning that occurs when a dragon appears brings rain and bountiful harvests. When a dragon rises to the heavens, it represents rising fortune, while when it descends to earth, it brings good luck. Since ancient times, dragons have been said to be the source of all energy, and are a motif that symbolizes strength and prosperity.

'WABORI TALISMAN' is a brass amulet accessory that combines Japanese aesthetics with pop culture. It features reimagined traditional Japanese motifs such as the Hannya (prayer demon), dragon, phoenix, and skull. Recommended for fans of Japanese-style accessories, fans of Japanese culture and subculture, and those looking for a unique charm. Bring the mysteries and stories of Japan into your everyday life.

Dimensions are 17mm x 36mm x 5mm. This pendant can be worn as a necklace. The chain is 50cm long (with adjuster). A free lobster clasp is included, so it can also be used as a keychain.

  • Features

    For people around the world interested in Japanese culture, I wanted to create something special that focuses on important Japanese themes like manga, anime, temples, and shrines. So I created the 'WABORI TALISMAN' accessories, showcasing Japanese culture and techniques with four distinct motifs: the Hannya (prayer demon), dragon, phoenix, and skull. Each motif represents a symbol of protection, prosperity, rebirth, and hard work.

    These motifs are all found in traditional temple decorations and Japanese tattoo designs, and they also appear in famous manga and anime like Dragon Ball and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Through these items, I hope to share both traditional and pop culture with people around the world who share an interest and love for all aspects of Japanese culture.
