Polished deer antlers, imbued with prayers for recovery, serve as talismans to fulfill dreams.

A dream catcher talisman that brings good fortune.—The first product, which officially debuted after starting production in late September last year, undergoing several sample productions and trial sales, is the Deer Horn Dream Catcher, a dream catcher-shaped necklace made from deer antlers and fishing nets.

The "Dream Catcher," a talisman from Native American tribes to ward off nightmares, is made from deer antlers, which have been treasured since ancient times as talismans against drowning and sea accidents and are sometimes revered as symbols of life and rebirth, and from mending threads of fishing nets, which also carry the meaning of connecting and healing (repairing) the damaged disaster-stricken communities.



The mothers in the coastal fishing villages of Miyagi Prefecture's Ishinomaki City and Oshika Peninsula used to support the male fishermen before the earthquake. After the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11th, they were left alone in temporary housing during the day with no work and no one to talk to, facing a difficult situation.

The OCICA project aims to provide even a small income for these women, create jobs for them, and foster community through opportunities for residents to interact. We want to support items made by local people using local materials.
