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.

Soft as a sigh and light as a cloud, this vintage Japanese kanzashi captures the romantic delicacy of early Spring. Layers of sheer pink and ivory petals unfurl like mist over a morning garden; their edges kissed with faint green and peach. The airy texture and subtle gradient dyeing evoke the gentle haze of peach blossoms in bloom.

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.
