The Tomoe is a beautiful natural piece. It was larger than I expected with a feeling of real weight and substance. One side is flatter and the other side is rounder so you can wear it two different ways. One lays against the body with the rounder side facing out. Or wear it with the rounder side toward the body so it appears to float away from the body. Both look elegant.
The craftsmanship of the bracelet and necklace gemstone that I brought are excellent.
The bracelet looks even better than the photos! Customer service was also super helpful in getting my package delivered ! 10/10 would purchase from here again!
Very good in quality. Bamboo box could be a little more sturdy. When held in my hands it felt so fragile.
Heard of all the fantastic qualities and gifts Lapis Lazuli can bring, and I’ve never done something like this before. So I went on Amazon and could have gotten a nice necklace with a leather strap for $16. But investigated that there were all kinds of different quality levels of stones, and I wanted the highest. I came across your site, and after reading your attention to details, and the fact that you source the highest quality stones and that you make to personal order, even though the price was considerably higher, I considered the buy. What I also knew , and what your site indicated, was the Japanese dedication to thoroughness and quality. I have no way of knowing if I, indeed, did get the highest quality stone, but I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt. Nice necklace, could be a little more masculine, thought about getting the leather strap, but because I’m going to just leave the pendant on all of the time, (having trouble getting it on and off), I think the stainless steel is the better choice. And that is what I wanted to ask, I swim 2 days a week and there is showering, is it a good idea to leave it on all the time? Also as far as process goes I recommend that at the 4 week mark, you send a message update on the progress of the production, just as a heads-up, 8 weeks is a long time to wait for something like this, and it would be nice to get an update. Other than that, I’m happy with the purchase, and am curious to see if I can feel any of the Spiritual qualities of of this living stone. So, let me know about just leaving it on all the time, including during sleep. Thank You so much!
I love this pendant for its simplicity and elegance. Being made from the katana steel adds meaning to it as well
I love it !!! This photo really does not serve this wonderful katana steel any justice, honestly. Sometimes I hesitate by photos but this time I knew it would be better than photos. I will remove the bridge, though. It distracts from the beauty of the artwork. That’s only a personal preference. I will order again, probably Magatama. (I don’t know how to send this photo.)
I am truly happy with this purchase. I bought the Shi pendant, and I appreciate the quality of the material and design of the pendant, as well as the chain that comes with it. The only thing that I would say is that the clasp could feel more secure. Other than that, I am enjoying the pendant and I would certainly recommend this site to others!
It's a good product and it's really nice to wear. They even have those small metal necklaces that are normally annoying but they actually work and are comfortable to wear. Definitely recommend their product.
Really love the piece. It feels solid but not too heavy. It has a enough texture to give it personality but not too much. I wear it daily!
This is my second Hatano Sen purchase after getting an engraved Yamata No Orochi in 2021 and loving its quality.
The covenants of Bushido are powerful principles to consider in our own daily lives, so I learned the Kanji to be able to look down at the ring to remind me to be noble, patient, benevolent, etc.
Visually, it's a beautiful ring. The one I received initially was pretty hazy (hard to read the characters) but I reached out to the team and they instantly took care of it and sent me a gorgeous replacement.
People often point out at ring, it's a cool conversation starter (especially being half Japanese as well, but regardless of that, too).
It's flush, stylish and unique without shouting at you. It's sleek enough to wear while suited up for work and cool enough to wear out with friends and for social events.
Here's an excellent quality ring with a story and bespoke craftsmanship to tie it all together. Another great Hatano Sen product.
I was anxiously waiting for my order and when it finally arrived it was even better than I could have hoped, between the cool laser cut wood box to the heft of the charm it felt far better in the hand than I could have thought. The charm is of the finest craftsmanship and as someone who makes things themselves I can only admire the work and dedication that went into this 5/5 all the way!
The pendant and engraving are low key stunning. Not flashy or too attention drawing. The quality is first rate. Comfortable to wear both against a shirt or skin. This is just what I had hoped for. Many thanks to everyone involved.
The piece itself is special quality, good weight and feels good in the hand. Still smells like the workshop (which is a good thing!) The engraving/printing of text is clean and subtle. The wood box is nicely crafted and also special. I have feedback on other things besides the piece. It comes with a separate metal clasp that you must bend to close into the holes on the jewelry piece. This was awkward for me to do with pliers, to protect the piece and bend it enough to get the ends to close together completely. I attached the leather cord by tying it as a Lark’s Head knot onto the metal clasp, so the piece faces outward. If you loop the cord straight through the clasp, it would rotate the piece 90 degrees and it would face the side. Of course, you can always get your preferred necklace cord of material and length on your own. Thank you for the wonderful art! It is special to me, as it memorializes my name in Japanese as my late sense wrote it years ago.
The AI 愛 pendant was beautifully crafted. I am very happy with this forging and I would recommend this to everyone.
I bought this bracelet as a birthday gift for myself. And it is a very cool gift that I am pleased with.
The product is very well made and looks great. I have a skill issue where I have trouble keeping the sliding knot secure so it loosens up over time, so maybe having a section on the website for tutorials would help, but the product itself is excellent.
Very attractive, excellent quality, comfortable fit with the style of the design. Clearly illustrates the spirit of Bushido in folded Steel. Highly recommend.
Bought 5 pendants and I love all of them! Beautifully crafted. They look fantastic l!
