Collection: Year of the Horse Limited Edition — "ChiTu" — Inscribed Edition

ChiTu · Year of the Horse Commemorative Edition

"Among men, Lü Bu; among horses, Red Hare."

The Red Hare is the most spirited warhorse in ancient China. It appears in the official histories as the mount of Lü Bu; in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it later carries Guan Yu into battle and, upon his death, refuses to eat and perishes beside its master — becoming the enduring emblem of loyalty and martial valor. Fierce, faithful, and unstoppable, it is the romantic ideal of masculinity made flesh. That is why we chose the Red Hare as the soul of our Year of the Horse edition.

The release comes in two versions, nearly identical at first glance. The differences lie only in the details:

• The decorative ring: one bears the banana leaf, the other the lotus leaf — easy to miss without a close look.
• The inscription: one is engraved, the other sealed — and here their true weight is decided.

The Inscribed Edition (flagship): a verse is engraved around the ring. An old Chinese principle holds that inscriptions are never lightly bestowed — only a vessel of real consequence deserves one. This is our flagship release.

The Seal Edition: bearing only the reign-mark seal, understated and restrained — a quieter form of remembrance. Available November 27.

The two arrive in stages. Those who know, will know.
