PATH OF WAR:
a manifesto of arming / crusade against foreign enemy.
"PATH OF WAR" calligraphy strap is the first "Chinese Calligraphy strap" ever to be made, bringing WOTANCRAFT's vintage and military-themed roots back to the Three Kingdoms in ancient China, around year 200AD.
When talking about the Three Kingdoms, "ZhuGe Liang" is the most legendary figure. Military strategist, fierce gereral, imperial chancellor... non of these names sum up his life better than his own words: "devoted till the day I die", which appeared in his "PATH OF WAR" royal crusade manifesto.
Almost a century after ZhuGe Liang's royal crusade, another legendary Chinese general Yue Fei was so inspired by ZhuGe Liang, that he transcribed the "PATH OF WAR" in cursive calligraphy, which became the most well-known transcription of "PATH OF WAR" to date.
WOTANCRAFT brought the artistic cursive strokes of "PATH OF WAR" to life, adding our hand-dyed fading effect to cowhide leather, to recreate a "stone rubbing" look that are often seen in Chinese calligraphy transcription.
* Please note that the characters on the strap are manually hand printed, and they will naturally fade with time and usage. The fading is an intentional aging aesthetic effect that we choose to implement and should be considered normal wear.
