About the work: Seize the opportunity. Kotaki's original Itoigawa natural jade protection stone made of white jade with a slight green tinge. The diameter is 27mm and the thickness is 7mm. It's large enough to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. You can look at it, put it on your desk for a while, or hold it in your hand on important occasions. (It is said that merchants in ancient China kept jade in their pockets and held it in their hands when negotiating important transactions.) It is cool and smooth to the touch, and has been polished to the point that the scenery is reflected in it. No waxing or coloring is done on this piece, and it is finished only by hand polishing by craftsmen. Please keep it by your side as the only "talisman" in the world. It can also be used as a golf marker. *We will send the item to you with a ``Certificate of Quality'' as proof of the work made by Itoigawa Hisui. About our workshop: Jade has been a symbol of wealth and power since ancient times, and has been available only to selected people. Even in Japan, jade magatama beads have been excavated from ruins from the Jomon period, and the legend of Nunakawa Hime, which is related to Itoigawa jade, is recorded in Japan's oldest history book, the Kojiki. Lots of jewels
Jade is used simply as an ornament, but it is said that jade was used not only for that purpose, but also for a variety of other purposes, including for rituals offering prayers. Overseas, jade has been used as a material for ornaments and furniture due to its beauty, but it is also an interesting stone, as it is used for similar purposes in faraway places, such as as a stone with mysterious powers to heal the body, and as a spiritual stone for witchcraft. What kind of power did ancient people feel from jade? Japan has what is said to be the world's oldest jade culture. Its origins date back to the Jomon period 7,000 years ago. We work every day in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, with the mission of spreading the wonders of Itoigawa jade, which has been cherished since ancient times, and conveying to the world Japan's jade culture, which is on par with the Mayan and Incan civilizations. We hope that the works of our workshop can be of use to you.
