Height 13.6cm

Width 4.5cm

The motif is the legendary animal "Jackalope" that is said to live in Wyoming, USA. It has a splendid horn like a deer growing on the head of a rabbit, and is loved and passed down as a lucky motif. It is an unidentified creature that is believed to be "somewhere" like Nessie in Loch Ness and Tsuchinoko in Japan. Of course, such an animal does not actually exist, and it has been concluded that its true identity is "a rabbit with a horn-like wart growing from its head caused by the rabbit papilloma virus". However, the idea of ​​accepting such a deformed rabbit as a lucky motif rather than being creepy and eliminating it is a very kind "lie", and I thought that it was very close to the essence of art, and I was interested in it as a motif. Two rings are hooked on the horns of this Jackalope, one is a masculine octagon and the other is a feminine circle. And the two rings never come off the horns. I created this with the hope that people would overlap their lives with these two rings that never come apart. (From Akio Omori's website)
