Four Seasons Inro 9ct yellow gold pendant - with Spring symbolized by Plum blossom, Chrysanthemum flowers for Summer, Maple for Autumn and Bamboo for Winter. The chain does not come with the pendant and must be bought seperately.
"Inspired by the traditional Inros worn by Japanese men and women, and with details depicting the Four Seasons. Since traditional kimonos have no pockets, they would carry a compartmentalized box called an Inro hung below the obi, a wide fabric kimono belt, on a doublecord.
At the top of the cord, a large carved bead called netsuke acted as a toggle to anchor the inro with the cord passing under the obi.
The smaller ojime bead served as a sliding closure to secure the lid of the inro."
