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.

Playful yet sophisticated, this pair of vintage Japanese kanzashi hair pins showcases a sculptural mix of wrapped loops in soft greens, apricot, and tangerine tones. Each features a charming cluster of fabric blossoms accented with lustrous faux pearls and golden beads, capturing the organic energy of new growth and sunlight. The overlapping circles suggest movement and flow, a modernist twist on traditional floral craftmanship. 

Functional and ornamental, these kanzashi hair pins 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.
