TANZAKU - Japanese enamel sterling silver charm necklace - simple and elegant. Perfect for a special gift.

The custom of writing wishes on tanzaku (small strips of paper) during the Tanabata Star Festival on the 7th July is said to originate from the practice of grinding ink with night dew collected on the leaves of taro plants. People would then write poems on Kaji (a deciduous broadleaf tree) leaves, expressing a wish for improvement in waka poetry and calligraphy skills. The culture of making wishes through such charming traditions is fascinating. The pendant, crafted from sterling silver and Japanese enamel, is designed to resemble the form of a tanzaku.
