Among hair accessories, fan kanzashi, which exude classic beauty, have been used as decorative accessories for important occasions since the Edo period. Many Japanese-style hair accessories are decorated with designs using lacquer and gold, and women will be enchanted just by looking at them. There is a wide variety of patterns to choose from. Typical designs include cherry blossoms and plum blossoms, as well as chrysanthemums and folded cranes, all of which are stylish designs that directly evoke Japanese images. In particular, hair accessories made using tortoiseshell, a traditional Japanese technique, are a precious traditional craft that continues to this day, with artisans from Asakusa, Edo, carrying on the techniques.
Among Tokyo souvenirs, traditional fan-shaped hair ornaments are becoming increasingly popular as decorative items that evoke the atmosphere of the Edo period. Their sophisticated patterns, unseen in modern designs, give them a fresh impression. While Japanese hair ornaments may seem expensive, the tortoiseshell and celluloid pieces sold at Kanzashi Shop Wargo make affordable souvenirs. Tortoiseshell is recommended for luxurious gifts or luxurious personal use. They cost around several tens of thousands of yen, but if cherished, they can be treasured for a lifetime. Elevate your lifestyle with hair ornaments crafted with reliable traditional techniques.
