2015.06.30 published
Right now, the red thread is a huge trend ♡
Among recent brides-to-be, using red thread photo props for pre-wedding shoots is all the rage! The LOVE letters connected by the pinkies are adorable *
Discovered red pencils with a red thread motif!
Amid the red thread boom, I found red pencils featuring red threads as one of the matchmaking charms sold at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine in Saitama *
Known as "Red Connection Pencil" ♡
The name is not “red pencil,” but rather “Red Connection Pencil” with the character for “connection” used ♡
“Let's draw a red line with this pencil while thinking of the 'fated red thread' that has connected our pinkies since we were born,” is the origin of this Red Connection Pencil *
Designed by Harumin Asao ♩
This pencil, designed by illustrator Harumin Asao, features a lovely design where the distance between the boy on the cap and the girl on the body decreases with every sharpen ♡
Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, where the matchmaking deity resides *
Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine in Saitama is a famous power spot for matchmaking ♡ It’s wonderful to visit together with your beloved to strengthen your bond, or to go and wish for your “fated person” to be found *
The Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine also has other matchmaking charms, so collecting them all is fun too ♩
The lovely story of the Red Connection Pencil *
The red pencil “Red Connection Pencil” available at Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, where the matchmaking deity resides, is truly romantic ♡
