hello everyone!
Today is the last day of October and Halloween.
How do you plan to spend it?
In this blog, KARAKU designers
I'd like to introduce you to a product with a skull pattern that I particularly like.

skeleton
,
As one of the symbols of Halloween,
Represents death and supernatural elements.
Halloween originally originated from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain .
At this time, people believed that the souls of the dead returned.
Skeletons are often used in Halloween decorations or costumes because of their association with the symbolism of death.
Additionally, skeletons contribute to the Halloween atmosphere by adding elements of fear and mystery.
