"In the past, in Japan, to express firm determination, sincerity, etc., a "kokuban-jou" (blood seal) was used, in which one's own finger was cut off and the blood that flowed over the signature, flower seal, etc., was stamped on it. . It is said that this was a declaration of determination among many warriors to strongly pledge their commitment to each other. By making one's feelings visible, it was probably meant to deepen the relationship of trust with the other party. In today's society, there are people who are determined to pursue the same goals and dreams, and have built strong bonds and relationships with each other. It would be good to have a form that would be one of these people's declarations of intent and that they could hold on to. And it should not only be between two people, but also between multiple people. It is with these thoughts that this ring was born." (Original text)

While being a ring that proves one's relationship with others, it could also be used in a way that lightly changes preconceived notions of what a ring should be. It is a ring that is appropriate for this diverse era.
