商品説明

The "Amabie Keychain" is a unique and adorable piece created by Satoyamajin Tetsushi Yano in collaboration with Waen using Japanese Tobe ware techniques.

Tetsushi Yano has always been known for his cheerful and gentle style in his paintings, and his soothing works have garnered overwhelming support from women.

Such is the work drawn by Tetsushi Yano. "Amabie" is Amabie is one of the monsters that was passed down in Japan during the Edo period. It has a fish-like body, long hair, and a bird-like beak, and is said to appear from the sea. Amabie is particularly well-known for the legend that it appeared before an epidemic (contagious disease) and told people, "If you show people a picture of me, you can prevent the epidemic." Because of this legend, Amabie is considered a symbol of protection from epidemics.
It is believed that by wearing this "sea monster, said to have the power to predict and prevent epidemics," as a talisman, it is believed that the wearer's health will be protected.

This is a very valuable piece that conveys the kindness and playfulness that underpins Tetsushi Yano's work, and is fascinating in its unique approach in which tradition and modernity coexist.

Tobe ware has a long history, beginning in the Edo period. Initially used as daily necessities and tea ceremony utensils, it is now also highly valued as a work of art. Tobe ware is attractive for its ease of use, simplicity that blends into everyday life, and the warmth that can only be achieved through handcrafting. Its simple yet sophisticated beauty continues to be loved by many people.
