This is a hand carved Royal Bronze Bushido Tag by Derrick Obatake of Steel Flame
Often in a hand made process there are certain items that, due to unseen variables, do not come out exactly as planned. This particular Bushido has a much Darker Patina than normal and the Lettering stands out more dramatically.
The Designer – Derrick Obatake born and raised in East Los Angeles has been designing and making jewelry for over 35 years. At an early age he was taught to be a machinist by his father. He is a Graduate Gemologist from GIA and has had formal training in traditional jewelry arts: Diamond setting, model making, casting, finishing and fabrication. He has extended experience in Die striking, and 3D CAD design.
“I like to blend old school craftsmanship with new age technology to create an out of the box style that is hopefully refreshing and empowering.” Derrick Obatake
This is a beautiful piece with substantial weight, nice thick body!
One of Derrick’s most popular pieces, this BUSHIDO Pendant and attached Jump Ring has an extra Dark Patina with highlights.
Bushidō literally translates to “the way of the warrior”, a Japanese word for the way a Samurai tried to live, loosely analogous to the concept of Chivalry in this time.
Be sure to ask about the Steel Flame Chains or Cord to match this item.
