Happiness-Inviting Hair Accessory Kimono Scrunchie Maple Leaf Silk

<Unique Beauty That Brings You Happiness> The materials for this piece are selected from thousands of kimono fabrics, rich with auspicious patterns, that have been stored away. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with a wish for the happiness of its owner. <A Gift of Japanese Heritage> We utilize dormant kimono fabrics from traditional chests, upholding the saying from the elderly women of Watari Town in Miyagi Prefecture: "Never discard a cloth that can wrap three adzuki beans." We create items that give form to the beauty and charm held within small fabric scraps. These are also cherished as thoughtful gifts for small tokens of appreciation or greetings. <An Item to Adorn Your Presence> This hair accessory effortlessly complements kimonos and yukatas, as well as any other attire, allowing you to express your individual style. Beyond being a retro-modern hair ornament, it can also be used as an armband or a book band, proving conveniently useful to have on hand. <A Symbol of Good Fortune: Auspicious Patterns> Understanding the meaning behind these traditional Japanese patterns, which are considered auspicious symbols of good fortune, connects you to the profound depth of Japanese culture passed down through generations. <Maple Leaf Pattern (Momiji Mon)> "Skill and Artistry Improvement," "Love Fulfillment." This pattern was favored by samurai, as the shape of the leaves resembles a cockscomb, symbolizing "conquering the world." It also carries a wish for romantic success, as autumn, when maple leaves turn vibrant, is the deer mating season. <The Joy of Gazing and Collecting> The kimono fabrics adorned with auspicious patterns bring a sense 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. Items are sold individually.

We introduce our regional resource upcycling initiatives in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgrpvHXTt6Q <Notes for Purchase> *As each item is handcrafted, please understand that it is a unique piece, and there may be slight variations in size, shape, and pattern. *In rare cases, when we obtain high-quality kimono fabric, we may create multiple items from the same fabric. Please note that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo due to the cutting position of the fabric. *Please be aware that the color and texture may appear different on your screen compared to the actual product. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. *As the kimono fabrics are often secondhand and unlabeled, the exact materials may be difficult to identify. We thoroughly inspect and process the fabrics (including washing) before remaking them. Please handle with care, as some fabrics may fade or shrink when wet. *As we also sell on other sites, please forgive us in case of a sell-out.
