Chacott Entrusts Wishes for the Stage to Tanabata with the Dance Amulet <Artistic Talent> to be Released on July 7, 2026 (Tue)

Chacott Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and Representative Director: Akinori Baba) will begin selling the original Dance Amulet <Artistic Talent> (Geijutsu Saichi), a spiritual charm that has received prayers at Kurumazaki Shrine in Arashiyama, Kyoto, exclusively at its Daikanyama store starting July 7, 2026 (Tue). Entrusting wishes to Tanabata, we support the dreams of all who stand on stage.

The "Dance Amulet" was planned and produced in 2025 with the concept of "Fulfilling Dreams for the Stage," embodying Chacott's support for those involved in dance.

Last year's "Dance Amulet," made from the same cowhide material used for the sole of our domestically produced pointe shoes and featuring an imprint of pointe shoes, has been popular among a wide range of users, from dance enthusiasts to professional dancers, since its release. It carries wishes not only for the success of performing arts but also for improvement in artistic skills, successful performances, and increased popularity, and has been well-received as a gift for those challenging auditions, competitions, and recitals.

The "Artistic Talent Amulet" to be released this time features a new design combining light tulle and delicate embroidery, inspired by the glamorous costumes that shine on stage. With the image of entrusting wishes to the Tanabata night sky, it is available in two colors: a gentle and lovely "Baby Pink" and a dignified "Baby Blue."

The "Artistic Talent Amulet" carries the wish for the success of performing arts, as well as the wish for each person's "blooming talent," and has received prayers for artistic talent at Kurumazaki Shrine. We hope it will be a supportive amulet that gently encourages those aiming for a grand stage and those taking their first step as performers.

[Artistic Talent (Geijutsu Saichi)] It is said to have the benefit of promoting wisdom and mental faculties that enhance expressiveness, bring forth outstanding talent, and nurture and develop it in the fields of arts and entertainment (music, dance, acting, fine arts, etc.).

[Kurumazaki Shrine]

Kurumazaki Shrine is located in Arashiyama, Kyoto, and has been revered since ancient times for its "Kinen Shinseki" (prayer stone) that grants wishes. Within the shrine grounds, there is also the "Geino Jinja" (Shrine of Performing Arts), which enshrines Ama-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto, the ancestral deity of performing arts and arts. A "vermilion sacred fence" inscribed with the stage names of artists and group names of those active in all genres of performing arts and arts is dedicated there.
