Magatama have been found in Japan in a variety of prehistoric sites of the Jomon period, Yayoi time and the Kofun period and almost 3000 years. Magatama has always been used as a "talisman" to protect the wearer from disasters and evil spirits. In addition, the Japanese tombs began to serve as a symbol of power, often as a funeral for nobles with status. 

Origin of Magatama's form 

There are two general sayings: 
- Animal teeth say: Wearing animal teeth can drive off evil, resulting in a jade shaped like fangs 

- The form of the fetus says: It looks like the fetus has curled up during the pregnancy of the mother, so that the child can escape death and grow up healthy
