This ornate hairpin is made of mizuhiki work, a traditional Japanese craft. Aioi-musubi" is a combination of fresh and vivid green that makes you want to take a deep breath and gentle yellow that makes you feel as if you are watching over you. Aioi-musubi" is also called "Aioi-musubi" in Japanese, which means "to live together until one gets old. This knot is mainly used for weddings, but it is not limited to married couples; it also expresses the wish to live happily with your loved ones until you grow old. The design is based on the meaning of "Aioi Knot" itself. The two "Aioi Knot" loops, one large and one small, are connected by a strong bond (chain) just like a parent and child, husband and wife, siblings, or teacher and student. The green Aioi Knot is gradated and represents "harmony. Aioi-musubi is a beautiful hairpin that is meant to live together in harmony. As is typical of Kirari*to, small flowers are used to add a "casual cuteness" to the design. It may look heavy, but the mizuhiki itself is light, so it is surprisingly light. It is almost the weight of the metal of the hairpin itself. Although large in size, it is comfortable to wear and puts little burden on the neck and shoulders. Just by quickly sticking it in your hair, you can complete your shiny hair. It goes well with green casual wear, but also goes well with yukata (light cotton kimono).
