A handcrafted pineapple-shaped maasu bukuro charm woven entirely by hand using leaves from the Okinawan coastal adan plant.

From harvesting and preparing the leaves to weaving and finishing, every step is completed by hand using traditional techniques. Inside the charm is natural salt, reflecting Okinawa’s long-standing custom of carrying salt as a protective talisman.

In Okinawan culture, salt is believed to help protect against majimun (negative or harmful spirits) and is often carried or gifted as a symbol of protection and care. These small charms have traditionally been attached to school bags, placed in car dashboards, or carried during daily outings.

The pineapple motif symbolizes hospitality and abundance in tropical cultures, allowing the piece to function both as a meaningful charm and as a subtle everyday bag accessory. The cord is braided from gettou (shell ginger) stems, preserving the gentle texture and warmth of natural materials.

*Each piece is individually handmade and one of a kind.
