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.

Bright and uplifting, this handmade kanzashi hair clip radiates the warmth of bright sunlight. Layered fabric petals in soft green, white, and sunny yellow form a perfect chrysanthemum bloom, centered with a pearlescent and golden bead accent that catches the light beautifully. Crafted with the traditional tsumami pinching technique, it reflects the care and precision of classic Japanese floral art. Versatile backing with a clip and pin.

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.
