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:
