Hair Accessory to Bring Happiness - Kimono Scrunchie - Chrysanthemum Pattern - Silk

<A Unique Beauty That Brings You Happiness> The materials for this creation are carefully selected from thousands of kimono fabrics that have been stored away in chests, featuring auspicious patterns. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with a wish for the happiness of the person who will hold it. <A Gift of Japanese Tradition> We utilize kimono fabrics stored in chests and honor the saying from our local Wataricho, Miyagi Prefecture, by elderly women: "Never discard cloth that can wrap three adzuki beans." We create beautiful and charming items from small pieces of fabric. These are also well-received as small gifts to express gratitude or as greetings. <An Item to Add Radiance to Your Back View> This hair accessory blends seamlessly not only with kimonos and yukatas but also with any attire. It allows the wearer to express their individuality. Beyond being a retro-modern hair accessory, it can also be used as an armband or a book band. It's convenient to have one in your bag. <A Symbol of Good Fortune: Auspicious Patterns> These auspicious patterns, used as "symbols of happiness," offer a glimpse into the profound depth of Japanese culture passed down through generations. <Chrysanthemum Pattern> "Longevity," "Wish for Rejuvenation," "Wish for Health." Chrysanthemums were believed to have anti-aging properties and were used medicinally. They are considered the king of herbs and a symbol of longevity. <Cherry Blossom Pattern> "Abundant Harvest," "Wish for Beauty," "Wealth and Prosperity." Cherry blossoms were believed to house the god of rice, and the blooming status predicted the year's harvest. <The Joy of Gazing, The Pleasure of Collecting> The kimono fabrics with their auspicious patterns are items that bring a sense of happiness just by gazing at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery. *Photos are for illustrative purposes. Products are sold individually.
