Concept

In Japan, there was once a tradition of wearing protective amulets around the neck, carrying personal wishes and intentions close to the body.

This piece combines the traditional Japanese culture of the omamori with the form of the military dog tag, originally worn as a means of identification.

More than just a name or a few words,

a resolution, a belief, or a feeling for someone important.

This piece was created as a way to engrave those invisible thoughts and carry them with you every day.

The Small version is lighter and more compact, designed to blend naturally into everyday style.


Features

1. Meaning Behind Each Pattern

Each pattern sculpted on the front carries its own symbolic meaning.

Bishamon Kikko
Good Fortune · Prosperity · Harmony

Bishamon Armor
Fortune in Battle · Resolve · Protection

Seigaiha
Eternity · Prosperity · Harmony

Plain
Aspiration · Self · Origin

Choose the pattern that best represents your own intentions, wishes, or personal values.


2. Personalized Inscription

The reverse side can be personalized with the words of your choice.

Rather than using laser engraving, the inscription is created using a different process:

Each character is carved directly into the wax model before casting, allowing the lettering to become part of the final Sterling Silver piece itself.

Because the inscription is cast into the piece rather than simply marked onto its surface, it is more resistant to wear and has a deeper, more dimensional appearance.

A name, an anniversary, a personal motto, or words that hold special meaning to you.

Each piece can be made into a truly one-of-a-kind personal talisman.

Inscription Specifications

Inscription Area

Approx. 22 mm × 9 mm

Approximate Text Capacity

  • Large lettering: approximately 1 line
  • Smaller lettering: up to approximately 4 lines, with around 15 characters per line

※Currently, text inscriptions only are available.


3. Solid Sterling Silver 925

This piece is crafted from solid Sterling Silver 925.

Unlike hollow construction, the solid silver body provides durability and substance, allowing the piece to be enjoyed for many years.

Size

  • Height: approx. 35 mm
  • Width: approx. 20 mm
  • Thickness: approx. 2 mm
  • Weight: approx. 13 g

Lighter and more compact than the Large version, this size is especially comfortable for everyday wear.

Despite its smaller proportions, it still has a distinct presence and can be naturally incorporated into a wide range of styles, regardless of gender.


Deerskin Cord

This piece comes with an approximately 70 cm deerskin cord.

It is designed to be worn at a longer length, allowing the Dog Tag to fall slightly below the chest.

Compared with a silver chain, the deerskin cord has a softer, more natural presence and does not overpower the pendant itself.

It pairs naturally with T-shirts, shirts, jackets, and a wide range of everyday styles.

The organic texture of the deerskin also complements the concept of the omamori, giving the piece a natural and understated character.
