Channel your inner samurai with this Japanese Rhinoceros Beetle bolo tie. This adjustable brass bolo tie* comes with a black braided cord with goldtone tips. Wear it for any occasion, formal or casual, and you are sure to receive compliments on this unusual piece.

The Japanese Rhinoceros beetle is known in Japan as the kabutomushi (kabuto for samurai helmet, mushi for insect). They are such a part of Japanese pop culture that they are even sold as pets in department stores. Their long horn forms the shape of a letter Y and is used to battle other males for preferred mates. This behavior has made the beetles extremely popular in gambling, where two male beetles are placed on a log and the one that remains is deemed the winner. The male is approximately 40-80mm.

(This beetle bolo is in the sweet spot at 60mm long.)
