“’Man and Woman are connected by an invisible red thread.’ This legend is rooted in Japanese culture and beliefs and symbolizes fate and the power of bonding. The red thread represents the idea that you are fatefully connected to the person you are meant to meet. It is also a soothing lullaby that allows you to accept whatever reality you are faced with as a fate you cannot go against.” – Katsu Nakajima
