The Ghost of Kurosawa"
Chrono Phantom Edition
When the initial idea of creating a figure that looks like Darth Vader was discussed, it was inspired by Japanese film director and screenwriter - Akira Kurosawa (the director who inspired George Lucas when he was creating Star Wars). Regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema, Hidden Fortress, one of his movies is also the name of the collective that Quiccs started.

Weeks later, we started to receive enquiries about the wristlets, and if we are able to make more. So, we made more. Within the next few weeks, we started seeing people posting and sharing how they had personalised their wristlets and how it had become their primary EDC when going for a coffee with friends, a casual date night and even carrying it to attend their business meetings.
