Thank you for viewing. This is a special price offering for the first time in the Kamiarizuki (the month of the gods). Izumo Agate Jasper is said to be a stone for matchmaking and has been loved by the Japanese people since ancient times as a product of Shimane Prefecture. Many of the materials and magatama (comma-shaped beads) were supplied by the local industry of Koshu. However, there was no raw Izumo agate, and the raw stones were distributed and processed by Shimane's local industry. At that time, the factory was busy processing agate, and the craftsmen also prospered. This was over 60 years ago. Those raw stones are now sought after and have become very valuable materials. Comes with a certificate of authenticity for the Izumo Agate Jasper.
