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.

Bold and bright, this kanzashi comb features two bows - one red silk with kaneko (fawn spot) shibori layered on top of a tone-on-tone geometric jacquard with traditional patterns at the edges. At the center are three florals - bright red, warm purple and soft pink. Glossy red cording loops and twin tassels frame the central cluster, with pearly beads at each of the floral centers.

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.
