Dragon | Zodiac Ball

2024 marks the Year of the Dragon, a revered symbol in the 12-year zodiac cycle.

Dragons, often seen as divine and spiritual beings, embody power and transformation, believed to hold the extraordinary ability to control the elements, even the weather. As such, the Year of the Dragon signifies a time of profound change—moving the world and its people forward.

In ancient China, dragons were considered sacred, a belief that harmoniously intertwined with Japan’s reverence for the snake god. Over time, dragons became cherished figures in Japanese culture, adorning shrines, temples, and traditional artworks with their majestic presence.

This zodiac ball is a tribute to this enduring symbolism. Crafted by master artisans, its intricate scales are carved by hand in Hida, Gifu Prefecture, before being meticulously colored by metalworkers in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture—both regions renowned for their craftsmanship.

Use it as a lucky charm for your space or a refined paperweight, bringing a touch of tradition and artistry into everyday life.
