The Harmony of the Seven Sages of Kyoto

The Kyoto jewel brooch, composed of seven golden circles, black lines and hexagonal hearts, is inspired by the harmony and ancestral wisdom of Kyoto, an emblematic city of Japan rich in traditions, spirituality and aesthetics.

This theme can be interpreted as a metaphor for the "Seven Sages of Kyoto", mythical figures representing the essential virtues that maintain the balance and beauty of the city.

Symbolic Elements

Each circle represents one of theSeven Sages of Kyoto, mythical or spiritual entities embodying virtues such as wisdom, compassion, beauty, resilience, serenity, harmony and prosperity.

Gold symbolizes purity, light and the precious value of these virtues in Japanese culture.

The lines that make up the golden circles of this modern jewel brooch represent the invisible but powerful links between these sages, illustrating the interconnectedness of virtues and their synergistic role in maintaining harmony in Kyoto.
Black adds elegant contrast and emphasizes the depth and stability of spiritual connections.

The hexagonal hearts incorporated into the design of this jewel brooch symbolize love and harmony. The hexagon, with its six sides, recalls the geometric patterns often present in Japanese art and architecture, representing structure and balance.

Symbolism

The Kyoto pin tells the story of Kyoto through its symbols. Each golden circle embodies an essential virtue, while the black lines show how these virtues are interconnected to maintain the harmony of the city. The hexagonal hearts add a touch of love and kindness, reminding us that these virtues are not just abstract, but lived and felt by the inhabitants on a daily basis.

The Kyoto brooch is a jewel that recalls the importance of living in balance, respecting traditions and cultivating harmonious relationships with oneself and with others.
