The Kanji Pot

The Kanji Pot is been originally designed to only be a pocket emptier at the entrance of my home.
I wanted a japanese looking design but while I was thinking the pot I drifted towards a deeper meaning.
I found out that the Kanji symbol “AN” (安) means serenity, peace, tranquillity, calm and safety.
The symbol itself is composed by the top (宀 mián) wich means roof, and the bottom (女 nǚ) wich means woman.
So picturing a woman in a house it resembles a symbol of safety peace and warmth. That's why I decided to put this particular Kanji at the bottom of the pot, for the moment you enter your house and leave the keys, alongside your personal belongings from your pocket you do it into something that resembles this warm welcome.

But I also decided to use the number 7, wich has a moltitude of interpretation, including perseverance, hope and more generally luck. So the pot itself in its geometry, in its height, the circumferences of its shapes has the number seven at its ground, all its measurements are multiples of seven and at the top there are 7 grooves, 7 paths, circular paths. Those paths symbolize continuity, the cyclical nature of life, remembering that when something ends it starts again. Like a day that has just ended, welcomed into a safe and warm home and another has to begin. There are 7, like the days of the week.

Please when printing, avoid rescaling the model to keep its intended meaning.

I found out this is also a very appreciated present for any occasion and as we are coming close to christmas I decided to share this model for you to print for your home or an important person close to you.

I printed the model with bambulab basic pla bronze because I had it, but I think that a white marble pla or any sparle pla would make it a very outstanding peace.
