Kotodama is a Japanese belief in the spiritual power of words.
Here, those words become jewelry — created to hold love, connection, and trust.
When I started thinking about gifts that truly matter for Valentine’s Day, my thoughts drifted far away from predictable hearts, candles, or even expensive jewelry.
I was searching for something more valuable — feelings, emotions, life itself.
More than a dinner reservation.
More than a beautiful box.
I wanted a gift that could hold meaning.
Something intimate. Something alive.
That search led me to Kotodama.

What is Kotodama
Kotodama (言霊, kotodama) is a Japanese belief in the spiritual power of words.
Literally:
• koto — word, speech
• tama — soul, spirit, energy
Together, they express the idea that every word carries its own energy and has the power to influence reality.
In Japanese tradition, words are not neutral.
They are actions.

The Essence of Kotodama
For centuries, the Japanese believed that:
• spoken words materialize intention;
• conscious words can attract harmony, love, health, and good fortune;
• careless or harsh words disturb balance.
Language is not just communication.
It is creation.
And at that moment, everything became clear to me.

Jewelry and Words
I realized that combining jewelry and words — form and meaning — could deeply influence relationships where love already exists.
It could support their depth, their trust, their gentleness.
This is how the Kotodama Jewelry Collection was born.
A collection where words of love are not written openly, but encoded in form, material, color, and stone.
Jewelry that quietly reminds you of what truly matters.

The Kotodama Collection
Kotodama — Love（愛）
The heart of the collection.
Its beginning.
A white ceramic pendant on a leather cord, paired with a large geometric rutilated quartz crystal — almost transparent, with delicate golden threads shimmering inside.
These golden inclusions feel like connections already formed — subtle, luminous, alive.
White ceramic represents purity and openness.
Rutilated quartz reflects love that doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful.
Kotodama Love is about love that simply exists.
Without proof. Without explanation.
⸻
Kotodama — Kizuna（絆）
Kizuna means emotional bond — the connection built over time, shared experiences, and trust.
A ring crafted from deep chocolate-brown ceramic, set with Angelite, a stone associated with calm communication and understanding.
This piece is grounded and warm.
It speaks about us, not just me.
Kotodama Kizuna is for relationships that have grown roots.
⸻
Kotodama — Yasashisa（優しさ）
Yasashisa means gentleness.
A ring made of soft, light-blue ceramic, set with a raw, untreated amethyst, shaped like a small crystal hedgehog — imperfect, natural, alive.
This stone is not polished to perfection.
Neither is tenderness.
Kotodama Yasashisa reminds us to stay soft — with our partner and with ourselves.
⸻
Kotodama — Shinrai（信頼）
Shinrai means trust.
A beige ceramic ring with a round, semi-transparent smoky quartz in a rich brown tone.
Its form is calm and balanced.
Its energy is steady.
Kotodama Shinrai is about safety in closeness — when you don’t need to protect yourself.

A Different Valentine’s Gift
Kotodama jewelry is a Valentine’s gift that goes beyond tradition.
It doesn’t replace emotions —
it supports them.
It doesn’t speak loudly —
it stays close.
This is a gift that carries meaning.
A word you choose to wear.
A feeling you choose to protect.
