What is the meaning of the motif?
I thought about it a little seriously.
“accessories=Accessories”has a long history.
Originally, it was said that people carried around something with magical powers with them to protect themselves from external enemies, and it had a strong magical meaning.
From there, a ruling class was born, who started wearing them to show off their high status, and eventually, as religion developed, they moved to a new stage.
Depending on the faith, the crosses are meant to connect with God, and the earrings and armbands worn by bodhisattvas are diversified.
A wide variety of materials were used, from animal teeth and fangs, nuts, and flowers to gold and silver. These phenomena can be seen all over the world, and jewelry such as earrings and bracelets can be seen in Japan as far back as the Jomon period.
And modern times.
Apart from these original purposes, people began to wear accessories purely as a part of fashion.
But the underlying“wish”“prayer”“self-defense”This does not mean that these meanings have completely disappeared; in fact, people who wear accessories are increasingly seeking meaning in their own interpretations in their daily lives.
On the other hand, what about the creator side?
Creator sideThey also put a stronger message into accessories than other fashion items. While imagining the person wearing it, and imagining their life, I put my soul into it. That's why motifs in accessories have such important meaning. We think, worry, and create in order to combine fashion elements and spiritual elements at a high level.
The photo is a Tibetan esoteric Buddhism tool.“doge”. Also called Vajra in Hinduism and Vajra in Buddhism, it is said to contain the power to crush earthly desires and overcome difficulties and obstacles, and is the only self-defense tool allowed in Tibetan esoteric Buddhism, which is non-warlike.
And this“doge”is also the well-known main motif of the accessory brand Zocalo, which is well-known in this magazine. ZOCALO is“doge”Strongly drawn to his background, he creates with his unique sensibilities and creates numerous masterpieces by combining fashion elements.
"Double Doge" "Wheel Doge" "Dagger Doge" "Kartika Doge"...These are developed in "Zocalo"“doge”These are just a few of the motif's works.
You can see how much ZOCALO cares about and cherishes this motif. And this“doge”The fact that works with motifs are loved and supported by so many enthusiastic fans is perhaps the embodiment of the ideal type of accessory, where the feelings of the wearer and the creator's feelings for the wearer are synchronized.
