Gackt Style - Save Our Dears Bracelet

[karadin.livejournal.com]

Back in 2007, as part of his charity Save Our Dears to fund relief efforts for victims of the earthquakes in Niigata, Japan, Gackt created and sold two items, a smoky quartz bead bracelet, based upon the design of the prayer beads carried by Uesugi Kenshin in the taiga drama Fuurin Kazan. The bracelet arrived in a black silk brocade bag designed after the robes worn by Gackt as Uesugi in the drama.

 

 

1,000 of these bracelets were made, and you could chose between two kanji on the bead, this one depicts 'Dragon' the other was Uesugi's famous 'Bi' symbol on his banners for 'Bishamonten' God of Treasure and God of War.

The charity also sold pink crystal etched keychains - together Dears raised  2 million yen which Gackt donated to the City of Joetsu at the 2nd Kenshin Festival.
