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 striking kanzashi hair clip captures the quiet elegance of midnight blossoms beneath a full moon. Deep black petals mingle with hints of pink, violet, and red, patterned with sakura (cherry blossom) motifs that shimmer like distant lanterns. Two delicate strands with fabric petals and crystal-like drops add graceful movement, reflecting both traditional beauty and modern edge. Pairs beautifully with evening wear - mysterious and alluring!

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.
