Scorpion - Magnetic Brooch
This one-of-a-kind brooch is made using coil wires coated with real gold—materials traditionally used in Klosterarbeiten, Austrian devotional artworks.
The piece is entirely handcrafted by artist Hiyoshi Katayama, from design to creation.
With the lustrous beauty of metal and the light, intricate texture of coiled wire, it radiates a unique presence.
Over time, the colors deepen, creating a charming, antique-like appearance.
This item also comes with a custom frame lined with Japanese washi paper, perfectly matching the piece’s world of detail.
When not worn as a brooch, it can be enjoyed as a decorative art piece.
The brooch features a powerful magnetic clasp, allowing it to be attached without piercing your clothing or bag.
The motif and magnet are connected by a chain, minimizing the risk of loss and making it easy to adjust or remove.
It can be styled on hats, coats, bags, and more.

It’s a piece that looks great from every angle—360 degrees of fascination.
