【Magatama】 Magatama are one of the jewels that developed uniquely in Japan and are considered one of the Three Sacred Treasures. Magatama made from processed bones and shells have been unearthed from the Jomon period, and amazonite magatama have been discovered from the Mumon Jomon period (6th to 3rd centuries BC). The Kojiki and Nihon Shoki describe the offering of magatama (comma-shaped beads) to Amaterasu, the goddess of Japanese mythology. There are various theories about the shape of the magatama, such as it being modeled after a fetus, the moon, or an animal's tooth, but nothing is definitively known. However, based on excavated examples and historical documents, it seems that it had a uniquely Japanese religious meaning, representing protection by borrowing the power of nature and spirits. Although this magatama culture is believed to have disappeared with the arrival of Buddhism, magatama are still sold as amulets at Shinto shrines that enshrine deities belonging to Shintoism. Magatama size: Approximately 20mm in length, 13mm in width, and 5mm in thickness.
