Happiness-Bringing Hair Accessory Kimono Scrunchie Cherry Blossom Butterfly Pattern Silk

<A unique beauty that brings you happiness> The materials for this work are kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of pieces that have been stored away. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with the wish for the happiness of the person who holds it. <A Japanese Gift> We utilize kimono fabrics stored away, upholding the saying from our local Watarai Town, Miyagi Prefecture, by elderly women: "Do not discard cloth that can wrap three grains of azuki beans." Our craftsmanship gives form to the beauty and loveliness that resides in small pieces of fabric. These are also well-received as gifts to accompany small tokens of appreciation or greetings. <An item that adds radiance to your presence> This hair accessory blends seamlessly with any attire, not just kimonos and yukatas. It allows the wearer to express their individuality. Beyond being a retro-modern hair accessory, it can also be used as an arm band or a book band. It's convenient to have one in your bag. <A symbol of happiness: Auspicious Patterns> Auspicious patterns, used as "symbols of happiness" for their good fortune, offer a glimpse into the profound depth of Japanese culture passed down through generations. <Cherry Blossom Pattern (Sakura Mon)>: "Abundant Harvest," "Prayer for Beauty," "Wealth and Prosperity." Cherry blossoms are believed to house the god of rice, and the blooming status was used to predict the year's harvest. <Butterfly Pattern (Chō Mon)>: "Prayer for Beauty," "Immortality." Butterflies embody the wish for eternal life. <The joy of gazing, the pleasure of collecting> The kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns that delight the eyes are items that bring forth images of happiness just by looking at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery. *Photos are for illustrative purposes. Products are sold individually.

Please note that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo depending on where the fabric is cut. *Please be aware that the color and texture may appear different on screen compared to the actual product. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. *As the kimono fabrics used as materials are often used and do not have labels, their exact composition cannot always be identified. We thoroughly inspect and process the fabrics, including washing, before remaking them. Depending on the fabric, there may be color bleeding or shrinkage when wet, so please handle with care. *As we also sell on other sites, please forgive us in case of a sell-out.
