Namakubi Katana Pendant | Japanese Severed Head | 925 Sterling Silver

Namakubi Katana Pendant – The Warrior's Honor

Far from being merely grotesque, the Namakubi (severed head) is one of the most respectful and potent symbols in Japanese history and tattoo art. It represents the ultimate sacrifice: a warrior who accepted their fate with dignity. Pierced by a Katana, this pendant is a powerful talisman believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck, reminding the wearer that courage conquers fear.

Why this Pendant Speaks to You:

• A Symbol of Courage: In the Edo period, presenting a severed head was a sign of respect for a fallen enemy's bravery. Wearing it signifies your own willingness to face life's battles head-on.
• Handcrafted Excellence: Meticulously handcrafted using the lost-wax casting technique. The grim expression and the detail of the blade are sculpted to capture the solemnity of the moment.
• Traditional Talisman: Often used in Irezumi (tattoos) to scare away demons and bad luck, this pendant acts as a guardian for your spirit.

Specifications:

• Material: Solid 925 Sterling Silver
• Finish: Antiqued with heavy oxidation to emphasize the shadows and the dramatic expression
• Origin: Designed and Handcrafted in Italy by KaijuLab
