Each piece boasts a unique and vibrant display of colors, designed to imbue the wearer with the mystical essence of Kyoto's Kurama-yama Demon King's Waterfall. The Main Temple of Kurama-kyo is renowned globally as a premier spiritual sanctuary in Kyoto. Kurama-dera Temple is believed to be the land where the Demon King—the guardian Great Demon Lord—descended 6.5 million years ago, a place steeped in fascinating legends. The Great Demon Lord embodies the energy of earth spirits and the cosmos; the natural energy emanating from the Demon King envelops the body, dispelling misfortune and purifying mind and spirit. Revered in Kyoto tradition for their boundless capacity to absorb negative energy, prayers to the Great Demon Lord are particularly fitting during times of persistent hardship. Limited Magatama Soul — Manipura & Root Chakra Solar Plexus and Root Chakra ‧ Demon King Blue Tiger's Eye Demon King Blue Tiger's Eye is a superior grade of Blue Tiger's Eye, known as the soul of Taki (Kyoto's Kurama-yama Demon King's Waterfall). It corresponds to two human chakras: its blue radiance aligns with the Solar Plexus Chakra, while its deep black resonates with the Root Chakra. Blue Tiger's Eye possesses a unique ability to "accelerate," encompassing experiences and the fulfillment of wishes. Furthermore, it ignues inner courage, fosters confidence, strengthens resolve, and grounds the spirit, cultivating inner fortitude and bravery. In life, it promotes flexibility and adaptability, enabling one to flow with the world and fostering a proactive outlook and an indomitable spirit. *Limited Magatama Soul — Throat Chakra ‧ Ryo-sui Tenkawa Amazonite Signifies confidence, resilience in the face of setbacks, and enhances communication, expression, and persuasion. It carries an energy of good fortune and the ability to avert misfortune. Its color promotes a calming effect, bringing tranquility and peace, especially during times of chaos and unrest. *Limited Magatama Soul - Eighth Chakra ‧ Shin-in Gray Longan Stone The soul of Kyoto's hidden realm, possessing naturally occurring unique textures and ethereal iridescence. Shin-in Gray Longan Stone connects to the higher self and soul, one of the few gems that corresponds to and strengthens the Eighth Chakra, enhancing the Aura—the dwelling place of the soul. It cultivates mindfulness, allowing us to perceive the ever-present light in life; purity and courage are safeguarded and blessed. Shin-in Gray Longan Stone is also a gem of love, as it connects to the higher self's frequency through the Eighth Chakra, thus guiding and sensing the energy of a "soulmate" connection. *Limited Magatama Soul — Third Eye Chakra ‧ Ether Blue Agate Ether Blue Agate boasts a mystique akin to the vast cosmos, with patterns resembling the subtle waves of an boundless ocean, embodying nature's enigmatic beauty. The term ETHER originates from ancient Greek, referring to the upper air or sky. In Aristotle's concept of the five elements, ether was the divine substance composing the celestial spheres and heavenly bodies. Ether Blue Agate corresponds to the sacred Third Eye Chakra, governing insight and visualization. When the Third Eye is active, it sharpens intuition and provides a continuous flow of inspiration. Additionally, it aids concentration, promotes mental clarity, and enables calm, rational problem-solving. It also enhances expressive abilities and offers profound spiritual protection, shielding the wearer from external anger and anxiety. In gemstone lore, Ether Blue Agate is traditionally believed to alleviate daily fatigue and intangible psychological stress, making it ideal for urban life. *Limited Magatama Soul — Solar Plexus Chakra ‧ Brave Tiger's Eye A sacred stone revered in India, radiating a brilliant, cat's-eye luster. Tiger's Eye corresponds to the Solar Plexus Chakra, providing a continuous flow of vital energy and fostering a proactive life outlook. It ignites courage, encourages creative pursuits, and promotes calmness and balance. It manifests personal spiritual and intellectual power, enabling the realization of life dreams. *Limited Magatama Soul — Throat Chakra ‧ Glacier Agate One of the oldest gemstones, known as a protective stone, possessing the ability to calm the spirit. *Limited Magatama Soul - Crown Chakra ‧ Sacred Hall White Crystal Pure, protective white crystal, symbolizing creation and leadership. The Lore of Magatama and Izumo-style Magatama Magatama have appeared in Japan since the Kofun period, over 5,000 years ago, with the Izumo-style Magatama originating in the Yayoi period, 2,600 years ago. The creation of Izumo-style Magatama was discontinued during the Heian period. After being lost for 900 years, the craft was revived in the Edo period when Ito Sen'uemon of the Izumo region acquired and passed down the techniques and knowledge, allowing Izumo-style Magatama to endure to this day. The Izumo-style is characterized by its unique gentle, rounded, and balanced form, reflecting the aesthetic pursuits of its time. Unlike the beast-fang shape, which symbolizes the union of sun and moon, the embryonic form of the Izumo-style holds the meaning of life's birth in traditional customs, blessing and celebrating all life, passed down through generations. *The above represents the traditional meanings and symbolism of various crystals and agates, as well as studies in ancient Indian chakra color theory.
