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.

Playful and fun, this trio of vintage Japanese kanzashi hair pins celebrates the timeless beauty of the ume (plum blossoms) which is a symbol of renewal and courage in early Spring. Crafted in vivid red and deep purple fabric, the petals shimmer with fine glitter and pearlescent details that catch the light. Accented with red cords and tiny silver embellishments, each piece adds a festive sparkle reminiscent of matsuri nights and traditional dance performances. 

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.
