Ouroboros, a symbol of “immortality” and “rebirth”

``Ouroboros'' is a symbol of a snake or dragon that eats its own tail and forms a ring.

The Greek word "ouroboros" (tail-eater) was widely used in the ancient world.

The ``snake'' often used in ``Ouroboros'' is considered to be a symbol of ``death and rebirth'' and ``eternal youth,'' due to its ability to shed its skin and grow, and its strong mental strength to withstand long periods of starvation.

By eating its own tail, the ``snake'' has been used as a ``complete entity with no beginning or end,'' or as a symbol of ``eternal cyclical rebirth.'' Incidentally, the symbol of the snake itself appears in many mythologies around the world, from the indigenous peoples of Australia to the ancient Indo-European speaking world.

Furthermore, in terms of the meaning of ``Ouroboros'', a ``snake'' is often used as a symbol of ``death and rebirth'' and ``immortality,'' but on the other hand, in terms of design, a ``dragon'' is often used. Dragons also have a hidden positive meaning, and have been revered as lucky charms since ancient times, especially in the East and China.

In Chinese mythology, "dragons" have various roles. Dragons are extremely wise and symbolize the goodness of heaven, so they are considered to be ``auspicious creatures that bring good luck.'' The dragon is also a symbol of fertility.

The positive connotations of the symbols “snake” and “dragon” that have been used since ancient times, and the “ouroboros” which is a symbol of “eternal cyclical rebirth”, these three elements are combined into “ZOCALO:The Ouroboros collection is fused and shaped with a Zocalo-like interpretation.
