Asian phone charms

Description:A s-era Japanese cell phone decorated with Maki-e stickers and several different cell phone charms. Ever since the dawn of the "cell phone era" during the late s and early s, cute little charms have decorated cell phones all over the world. In Japan and elsewhere in Asia, they have become a cultural phenomenon. In many ways, this phenomenon is akin to the "peace patches" worn by hippies in the US during the ss, the music buttons of the s, or the keystraps of the s all rolled into one massive fad. However, many of these charms have meanings that go much deeper than a mere pop culture fad. What most Westerners don't know is that some of these charms have their roots in ancient Japanese, Chinese, and Korean culture that go far beyond modern-day fashion and technology.
