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.

Radiant and refined, this pair of vintage Japanese kanzashi hair pins is named Hana no Hikari (Flower of Light) because it captures the gentle glow of spring blossoms at dawn. Each pin features hand-shaped petals in soft lavender and golden yellow, adorned with pearlescent stamens and delicate gold mesh leaves that shimmer in motion. Pastel cord loops rise gracefully behind the blooms. 

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.
