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.

Bursting with charm and color, this vintage Japanese kanzashi hair ornament captures the playful spirit of festival days. Solid pink blooms are mixed with blue, red, and yellow petaled flowers and accented by delicate silver bira-bira dangles that shimmer with every movement. Each petal is hand-folded in the traditional tsumami zaiku (pinching) technique, blending classic craftsmanship with a joyful mid-century aesthetic. 

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.
