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.

Brimming with festive energy and refined craftsmanship, this vintage kanzashi hair pin celebrates the spirit of joy and elegance. Crafted with vivid red and gold mizuhiki cords, metallic accents, delicate white feathers, pearl-like tipped strands, it evokes the celebration of oshogatsu (New Year's) and formal kimono ensembles. The combination of bold colors and shimmering materials captures the light beautifully, making it a striking accent. 

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.
