The Charm of Tsuchiya Kaban's "Randoseru Remake" – Turning Memories into New Forms
Items we keep close for extended periods naturally become precious to us. This is even more true when it belongs to a child. A randoseru, used almost every day for six years, could be likened to a guardian charm that has watched over a lifespan. Throwing it away casually seems impossible.
