Hair Accessory to Invite Happiness, Kimono Scrunchie, Silk

<Unique beauty that brings you happiness> The material for this artwork is kimono fabric with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of fabrics slumbering in chests. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with the wish for the happiness of the person who holds it. <Japanese Gift> Utilizing kimono fabric that was once stored away, we create items that embody the beauty and loveliness held within small scraps of cloth, honoring the local legend from Watari Town, Miyagi Prefecture, where elderly women say, "Never throw away cloth that can wrap three grains of azuki beans." These are well-received as gifts to accompany small tokens of appreciation or greetings. <An item that adds splendor 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. <Auspicious patterns, symbols of good fortune> These are auspicious patterns used as "symbols of good fortune," and understanding the meanings of Japanese patterns connects us to the profound depths of Japanese culture passed down through generations. <Plum Blossom Pattern (Ume)> Symbolizes "prayers for success," "achievement in studies," and "prayers for safe childbirth." It is believed that the god Tenjin resides within plum seeds, and they have been treated similarly to the god of learning. <Chrysanthemum Pattern (Kiku)> Symbolizes "longevity," "prayers for rejuvenation," and "prayers for good health." Chrysanthemums were believed to have anti-aging properties and were used medicinally. Regarded as the king of hundred herbs and a flower symbolizing longevity. <Pine Pattern (Matsu)> Symbolizes "longevity" and "marital harmony." The tree's age, said to be a thousand years, symbolizes longevity, while its evergreen leaves, unchanged through the seasons, symbolize purity, making the pine a tree of good omen. <The joy of gazing, the pleasure of collecting> Kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns that delight the eyes bring forth images of happiness just by looking at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your very own gallery. *Photos are for illustrative purposes. Products are sold individually.

Please note that the pattern may appear slightly different from the photo due to the cutting position of the fabric. *Colors and textures may appear different from the actual product due to screen settings. If you are concerned, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. *As the kimono fabrics used are often used items and their materials are not specified, we are frequently unable to identify the exact materials. They are also thoroughly inspected, processed (washed, etc.), and then remade. Some fabrics may fade or shrink when wet, so please handle them with care. *We also sell on other sites, so please forgive us if an item is sold out.
