[KKY] Armor accessory Good Luck Charm - Nikitama #15
jewBringing the spirit of Japanese traditional craftsmen closer to you!
A compact good-luck charm crafted in Kyoto, Japan, by a skilled decorative armor artisan using traditional techniques.
Inspired by the ancient spirit of Yamato-damashii and Bushidō, this handmade piece is modeled after the Sendan no Ita, a chest plate designed to protect the vital points of samurai armor.
The metal fitting feature:
- chrysanthemum motif (kiku), a flower cherished in Japan for centuries as a symbol of dignity. Made from copper—a material long used in Japanese craftsmanship and now valued for its natural antibacterial properties—this amulet carries both history and meaning, making it a unique companion for everyday life.
- Ume (plum blossom) and uguisu (bush warbler) — a pairing long celebrated in Japan as an auspicious sign of spring. The plum blossom, symbolizing nobility, innocence, and an excellent character, is beautifully complemented by the bush warbler, an auspicious bird that heralds the arrival of the season.
Size: 110 mm × 40 mm (≈ 4.33 in × 1.57 in)
Main materials: Copper, deerskin, silk braid
Method: All handmade using traditional techniques, with gold plating and gold leaf stamping
Other: Inspired by and referencing national treasures in the collection of Kushibiki Hachimanguu Shrine
