This listing is for a traditional Japanese hair ornament called kanzashi.  Kanzashi is a generic term for a wide variety of these accessories - including long, rigid hairpins, barrettes, fabric flowers, combs and fabric hair ties - which are worn in traditional Japanese hairstyles.  Click here to learn more about the many forms of kanzashi.

This kanzashi comb features three layered bows in warm, rich colors that suggest an autumn evening sunset. The central bow of burnt orange shimmers with delicate floral and leaf motifs in gold, white, and moss green, overlaid with fine plaid lines that hint at woven textures. It is framed by a soft coral and golden-yellow outer bows patterned with flowing calligraphic lines. At the center, a vivid red and gold cord wraps the design together - a bold accent to the warm harmony of the seasonal colors. 

Functional and ornamental, these kanzashi combs are perfect for traditional wear with a kimono, especially during Shichi-Go-San, Coming of Age Day, or wedding ceremonies. They can also be worn without the kimono adding a unique vintage touch to any updo, bun or twist for your special event. See the video below for a stunning collection of antique and vintage kanzashi.
