If This Could Talk...
"I would whisper tales from Edo-era Japan, when I hung proudly from the obi of a travelling samurai or merchant. Each compartment held more than medicine or seals—it carried ritual, identity, and status. My netsuke, carved as a sumo wrestler, was not just ornament, but protector and conversation starter, its rounded form worn smooth by passing time. Together, we moved through teahouses, temples, and bustling markets, catching glances and collecting stories. Though silent now, I remain a keeper of tradition, strength, and the quiet dignity of a bygone world."
