A vintage Japanese 'kaeru' (frog) traffic safety charm anchors this composition. Inscribed with 'Kōtsū Anzen' ('Traffic Safety'), it was intended to encourage safe journeys, with the frog chosen for its association with returning safely. Paired with a well-worn 'church key' bottle opener and a small metal bell on a vintage copper-toned chain, the composition brings together everyday objects collected over time.
materials : copper-toned metal chain with lobster clasp, a vintage metal bell, vintage 'church key'-style bottle opener, and vintage Japanese 'omamori' lucky charm
chain length : 53cm
total length : 58cm
