WABORI TALISMAN Skull
↓ Please purchase via WorldShopping
The WABORI TALISMAN Skull is a brass art accessory crafted with traditional Japanese designs.
More than just symbolizing death or an end, the skull has long been used as a motif representing "impermanence" and "the fragility of life."
The recognition that all things change and are not eternal simultaneously poses the question, "How should we live in the present?"
Its quiet presence embodies a sense of resolve and the will for rebirth.
This product is manufactured at Wada Chokin Studio in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture.
After being cast, it is finished with hand-polishing by artisans and traditional black dyeing, a technique also used in temple and shrine decorations.
The interplay of light and shadow, the tactile irregularities of the carving felt by your fingertips.
Through handmade finishing, it achieves a distinct presence despite being a mass-produced item.
By wearing it, one becomes aware of limited time and finds an opportunity to re-examine their way of being.
The WABORI TALISMAN, while being an adornment, is a product that serves as a "wearable amulet."
It comes with an approximately 50cm chain (+ an approximately 5cm adjuster) and a lobster clasp, so it can be used as a pendant.

The skull motif is often perceived as something frightening, but I see it as a symbol that prompts us to ask "how should we live in the present?"
Precisely because everything is finite, we constantly choose how to be and how to move forward.
I created this piece to embody that resolve.
I hope this talisman can be an opportunity for those who wear it to confront themselves.
