Japanese Showa era amulet from gentian flower (rindō) – vintage folk craft charm with symbolic meaning
$60.18 $66.86
Vintage Japanese amulet made from natural plant fibers, identified as rindō (竜胆, gentian).
Gentian is a traditional flower in Japan, symbolizing endurance, health, and longevity. It blooms late in the season, when most flowers have already faded, and is cherished as a sign of resilience.
This piece represents a small amulet (omamori-like charm), crafted during the Shōwa era (ca. 1960–1970s). It is hand-made in the spirit of Japanese folk craft (mingei), with a loop for hanging.
The amulet is preserved with a transparent package labeled 「りんとう」 (rindō), confirming its meaning and cultural value.
Unlike tourist souvenirs, this piece functions as a symbolic charm intended to embody the strength and healing power of the gentian flower.
