Happiness-Inviting Hair Accessory, Kimono Scrunchie, Chrysanthemum, Butterfly

<Beauty Unique in the World, Bringing You Happiness> The materials for this creation are selected from thousands of kimono fabrics stored away in chests, featuring auspicious patterns. Each piece is lovingly handcrafted, imbued with a wish for the owner's happiness. <A Gift of Japanese Tradition> We give new life to kimono fabrics slumbering in chests, upholding the local tradition from Watari Town, Miyagi Prefecture: "Never discard cloth that can wrap three adzuki beans." Our craft shapes the beauty and charm held within these small fabric remnants. They are also cherished as gifts for expressing gratitude or as a token of greeting. <An Accent to Adorn Your Back> This hair accessory seamlessly complements kimonos and yukatas, as well as any other attire, allowing you to express your individuality. Beyond being a retro-modern hair ornament, it can also be used as an arm band or a book band, proving useful to have tucked away in your bag. <A Symbol of Good Fortune: Auspicious Patterns> These auspicious patterns, considered "symbols of happiness," offer a glimpse into the profound depths of Japanese culture inherited from ancient times. <Chrysanthemum Pattern> "Longevity and Youthful Vitality," "Wish for Rejuvenation," "Prayer for Health" Chrysanthemums were believed to possess anti-aging properties and were used medicinally. Regarded as the king of a hundred herbs, they are seen as an auspicious flower symbolizing longevity. <The Joy of Gazing, The Pleasure of Collecting> The kimono fabrics adorned with eye-pleasing auspicious patterns bring a sense of happiness simply by being admired. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can create your own personal gallery. *The image is for illustrative purposes. Items are sold individually.

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 screen compared to the actual product. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. *As the kimono fabrics are often used and their materials are not specified, it is often difficult to identify the exact material. 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 these items are also sold on other platforms, please forgive us in case of a sell-out.
