Hi! I ended up finding your page based off your post of magatama beads! I was wondering if you could tell me what this pendant shape is? It's from the new show Blue Eye Samurai on netflix. Its based in 17th century Japan. The pendant decorates the handle of the main characters sword. It looks like a magatama but isn't quite the right shape? Is it a magatama or somethings else?

Hi, Blue Eye Samurai is on my list but I haven't found time to watch it yet!

As for your screenshot, I do think it is supposed to be a stylized magatama bead! As you saw in this past post, magatama can come in many shapes and sizes. This one has a pronounced "claw" tip + is strung on a himo (cord) wrapped around what look like same (shark or ray shagreen) covered tsuka (katana handle). It's a very cool detail!

Now that 'Blue Eye Samurai' is out on Netflix, I can share some of the work I did as a character designer on the series! My main focus was Akemi's design, and her costumes. I designed her ensembles, as well as Madam Kaji's outfits, several of the Nightjar Girls, and Lady Itoh's outift as well. I also designed young Taigen, and did some pose sheets for a few characters. It was a huge job and the entire team of artists and animators really worked hard to make this show possible.
