NAKANO-ISUKE CO., LTD.


Ikkyu paraded around town saying "Take caution, take caution", as he held a bamboo pole with a skull attached to the end of it. The people around town asked him, "Why are you carrying such a gross skull on a day of such celebration?" Ikkyu replied, "I'm carrying around this skull because I feel the celebration myself. There is nothing more celebratory than a skull. Skulls have only eye sockets that stick out and we call that "medetai" (This is a pun meaning both "celebratory" and "eyes sticking out" in Japanese). People live their lives based on the fact that they soon forget the coziness and safety of the previous day. However, reality in this world is callous and you never know what is going to happen. Therefore, I say "Take caution." Everyone alive should take comfort in the fact that they are still not a skull like this and don't have eye sockets that stick out (... meaning, you are not "medetai" yet.) Designer Jorg Gessner inspired this Japanese famous old story of the monk "Ikkyu" and create "E'Q" collection for men's accessories.
