This is a collaboration item where BACKLASH came up with the item's core idea, and Loud Style Design handled the specific design and production.
The cross rests on a base whose design source is the frame depicted in the upper right corner of a one-dollar bill. "ISAMU KATAYAMA BACKLASH" has long featured rosaries as a standard item, and "Loud Style Design" has frequently used the balance of the cross as a motif inherent in fundamental spirituality. By superimposing the cross motif on a frame symbolizing economics, the piece implicitly conveys that one's faith and beliefs are more important than economics.
