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 comb features a bold red camellia in full bloom, sculpted by richly textured rayon to suggest the layered softness of real petals. In the center is a rose-like spiral and peeking out from the flower is a single gold painted metallic leaf - a beautiful, polished accent detail. 

Functional and ornamental, these kanzashi combs 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.
