<A one-of-a-kind beauty that brings you happiness.> The material for this piece is kimono fabric with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of pieces that have been kept in storage. Each item is meticulously crafted by hand with a wish for the happiness of the person who holds it. <Premium Series> We envisioned a natural and elegant woman who carries herself with a gentle, relaxed grace, yet conveys a sense of refined poise. We chose antique kimono fabrics with vibrant colors that will make you stand tall the moment you wear them. This piece exudes a subtle luxury within its sophisticated presence. Delivered with a chic black mount to highlight the vivid colors. <A Gift of Japanese Heritage> Utilizing kimono fabrics stored away, we honor the saying from a senior woman in Watari Town, Miyagi Prefecture: "Never discard a cloth that can wrap three azuki beans." Our creations give form to the beauty and loveliness residing in small pieces of fabric. These are cherished as thoughtful gifts for small tokens of appreciation or greetings. <An Adorable Accent for Your Hairstyle> A hair accessory that blends seamlessly with any attire, not just kimonos and yukatas. It allows the wearer to express their individuality. <Symbols of Fortune: Auspicious Patterns> These are celebratory motifs used as "symbols of good fortune."

Please understand that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo due to the cutting position of the fabric. *Please note 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. *Since the kimono fabrics used as materials are often vintage and lack explicit labeling, their exact material composition may be difficult to identify. We inspect and process the fabrics, including washing, before remaking them. Please exercise caution as some fabrics may fade or shrink when wet. *As we also sell on other sites, please forgive us if the item is out of stock.
