This set includes 6 suminagashi seals painted Gold.

Suminagashi is a traditional Japanese marbling technique that involves creating intricate and mesmerizing patterns on paper or fabric by floating ink on water. The term "suminagashi" translates to "floating ink" in Japanese. This art form has been practiced for centuries and is known for its simplicity and meditative quality. These seals use the same technique but instead of ink use wax.

In this evocative wax seal depicts a skull and crossbones, adorned with the inscription "memento homo," a phrase derived from the biblical expression "memento homo, quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris" (Remember, O man, that you are dust, and to dust you shall return). This composition carries a solemn and introspective message, drawing upon the biblical reference to encapsulate the fleeting nature of human existence.

The skull and crossbones, universally recognized as symbols of mortality, stand as a visual representation of the transience of life. They evoke contemplation on the fragility of human existence and the inevitability of mortality.
