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.

Radiant and full of warmth, this pair of vintage Japanese kanzashi hair pins capture the cheerful spirit of spring in bloom. Each flower is hand-formed from vintage fabric, its soft pink outer petals framing a golden yellow center with delicate metallic accents that shimmer gently under light. The layered construction gives each bloom lifelike dimension, maybe camellias or early roses in full morning sun. 

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.
