Hannya itself represents the \u003cstrong\u003esouls of women\u003c\/strong\u003e who were taken over by jealousy so strong, it turned them into demons. From its beginnings, the motif has been identified with strong feelings of \u003cstrong\u003elove, passion and jealousy\u003c\/strong\u003e. Today we see it in a more positive light and many Japanese wear Hannya in the form of tattoos or talismans. The name itself means wisdom, while the motif is supposed to keep one safe from misfortune, evil spirits and repeating bad experiences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most famous and played story, in which Hannya appears, speaks of the beautiful Kiyohime who fell in love with a monk. Unfortunately, he didn’t return her feelings, thus breaking her heart. She was overwhelmed by deep sorrow, anger and hatred so strong, they slowly started to transform her face, making it more and more demonic. When her beloved saw her at the temple one day, her demonic face scared him so much, he hid under the praying bell. Kiyohime succumbed to her rage, started breathing fire into the bell and melted it. By killing the monk, she sealed her destiny and completed her transformation into a demon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SharpEdge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29235918438488,"sku":"00064","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2077\/0683\/products\/HANNYAengraving_00064_copyright.jpg?v=1648044501"},{"product_id":"sakura-engraving-on-the-blade-service","title":"Sakura Engraving on the Blade [service]","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe collaborated with the skilled tattoo artist Iva (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ivatattoo\/\"\u003e@ivatattoo\u003c\/a\u003e), owner of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rozatiger.tattoo\"\u003e@rozatiger.tattoo\u003c\/a\u003e, for these designs.

It only \u003cstrong\u003eblooms for a short time in the spring\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the Japanese then traditionally gather in parks and under the breathtaking treetops, enjoying and taking in their beauty. Sakura’s magnificent blossoms represent a metaphor for the \u003cstrong\u003efleeting nature of life\u003c\/strong\u003e, a thought introduced by Japanese Buddhism. The short life of cherry blossoms, their exquisite beauty and unique gentleness are associated with human mortality, destiny and karma, all of which Japanese accept with grace and dignity. The Sakura motif plays an important symbolic role in their lives and culture, often finding its way into Japanese art, movies, anime and manga.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMythologically, cherry blossom is associated with the legend of blossom-princess Sakuya-hime, who illustrates the delicacy of earthly life. Her symbol is cherry blossom and for Japanese she represents an avatar of their thought and way of life. One day, Sakuya-hime was walking along the beach and saw a young god Nagini. They fell in love at first sight and wanted to celebrate their love with a wedding, so Nagini asked Sakuya’s father for her hand in marriage. Her father offered him his older daughter instead, rock-princess Iwa-Nagi, but Nagini turned him down. His heart belonged to Sakuya-hime so they got married anyway, despite her father’s opposition. The transience of human lives is supposedly a consequence of his rejection – out lives are fleeting but blooming like cherry blossoms, instead of long-lasting but hard like stone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SharpEdge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29236059832408,"sku":"00065","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2077\/0683\/products\/SAKURAengraving_00065_copyright.jpg?v=1648044543"},{"product_id":"crane-engraving-on-the-blade-service","title":"Crane Engraving on the Blade [service]","description":"\u003cp\u003eA knife isn’t just a tool—it’s an extension of your hand.
