Kimono Yukata Happiness-Bringing Hair Accessory Kimono Hairpin Premium Kikko-mon 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 in dressers. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with the wish for the happiness of the person who receives it. <Premium Series> We envisioned a natural and elegant woman who carries herself with a soft, relaxed demeanor, yet conveys a sense of refined poise. We chose antique kimono fabrics with vibrant colors that would make one feel uplifted the moment they wear it. This creation exudes a subtle luxury within its sophisticated presence. It will be delivered on a chic black mount that accentuates the vivid colors. <A Japanese Gift> Utilizing dormant kimono fabrics, we create pieces that embody the beauty and charm of small scraps of cloth, adhering to the local saying from Watari Town, Miyagi Prefecture, by elderly women: "Do not discard cloth that can wrap three azuki beans." These are well-received as gifts for small tokens of appreciation or greetings. <A Lovely Accent for Your Hairstyle> These hair accessories blend seamlessly with any attire, not just kimonos and yukatas. They allow the wearer to express their individuality. <A Symbol of Good Fortune: Auspicious Patterns> These are auspicious patterns used as "symbols of good fortune," and understanding the meanings of Japanese patterns connects us to the profound depth of Japanese culture inherited from ancient times. <Kikko-mon (Tortoiseshell Pattern)> "Success in love," "Marital harmony," "Longevity" This pattern is modeled after a tortoiseshell. In ancient times, this pattern was believed to possess spiritual power, and was therefore used only for nobility or mystical objects. It is also a symbol of longevity. <The Joy of Gazing, The Pleasure of Collecting> The kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns that delight the eye 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. *The photo is for illustrative purposes. Items are sold individually.

Please understand that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photo due to the cutting position of the fabric. *Please note that colors and textures may appear differently on screen compared to the actual product. If you have concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. *As much of the kimono fabric used as material is secondhand, the material often cannot be specified. Furthermore, we carefully inspect and process the fabrics, including washing, before remaking them.
