Mythological Stories of the Zodiac Signs and Their Reflections in Kastamonu Stone Printing Art

The zodiac signs are not just a part of astrology; they are symbols of mythological narratives that have survived for thousands of years. Many civilizations, especially Ancient Greece, associated the constellations in the sky with heroes, gods, and legends. Most of the twelve signs we use today also originated from these mythological stories.

Kastamonu Stone Printing art is one of Anatolia's most valuable traditional crafts. Hakiki’s Heritage Collection draws inspiration from the Kastamonu Stone Printing tradition by blending mythological symbols with modern designs. Thus, each t-shirt offers a unique design reflecting both cultural heritage and the millennia-old stories of the zodiac signs.
