Inuyasha
Necklace - Kotodama no Nenju Necklace
The kotodama
no nenju necklace was inspired by the manga and anime series Inu yasha. This necklace is a scaled-down / smaller version of the necklace that Inuyasha wears. The black onyx beads, and bone magatama are smaller, and the necklace length is shorter. It is smaller version of the other 2 Inuyasha necklaces we sell on TamaShop.com. Inu-Yasha's nenju necklace, which was "given to him" by the miko Kaede, is one of the more distinctive objects associated with that character (except for maybe his red kimono made of Hi-Nezumi "fire rat", or the sword Tetsusaiga ). Only all natural materials would due for this creation to make it authentic. After watching many hours of Inuyasha, our artists chose black onyx as the best choice for Inuyasha's mala beads, and bone for the magatama beads. Black onyx is associated with the supernatural in many cultures including ancient Japan. Black onyx is formed by silicon dioxide deposited in gas cavities of lava. Being that Japan has many volcanoes, black onyx could be found around Kaede's village, and could easily be formed into the beads necessary to restrain a hanyou dog. Also, black onyx is very reflective, and will appear as dark purple when worn on a red kimono in bright sunlight, or black in normal lighting conditions just like Inuyasha's nenju. Magatama beads represent: the yin-yang, a growing / sprouting seed, a human sperm cell, an embryo, they are part of the Japanese imperial regalia, and are the jewels worn by the sun goddess Amaterasu no Okami in Japanese mysticism. Many shinto shrines have magatama beads inside. If you wear magatama you gain the protection of kami, which are good spirits. The magatama beads used for this necklace are bone being that bone could be found in or around Kaede's village. Eighty-nine large 3/16" (4mm) black onyx beads have been strung on strong 3 strand braided silk thread (authentic nenju rosaries use silk thread) separated by 1/4" (6mm) bone magatama (resemble canine teeth). The nenju necklace worn by Inuyasha has an incantation, or spell put on it so that when the word Osuwari, which means sit in Japanese, is spoken by Kagome he does just that - he sits. We feel our customers wouldn't like to be violently flung to the ground when the word sit is spoken out loud, and so we have not included that feature.
