To the person who took care of me.
A gift filled with feelings sent to a loved one.
Do you enjoy choosing gifts?
To make the recipient happy and see their smile.
You choose it with that wish in mind.
The process of giving a gift to someone begins with choosing it before giving it .
Taking time for that person and thinking about what would make them smile is the most wonderful thing of all.
However, not everything is good enough.
You want the other person to be happy.
Giving something related to a person's hobby is nice and will be appreciated, but the truth is, I would prefer to choose those things myself.
So how about a gift that's a little different from the usual ?
At The Ichi, we carry a wide variety of products based on the concept of "Japaneseness." You're sure to discover new charms you never knew existed.
I couldn't have chosen it myself from your present
You may make new discoveries and your world may expand.
It's not just "what looks good from my perspective," but "what looks good from your perspective." It's great to choose with that mindset.
Fashionable people are already using it! Easy even for beginners! The charm of "kanzashi"
Accessories are a classic gift for women.
I'm sure many of you have sent earrings, rings, necklaces, etc.
This time, we would like to suggest "kanzashi" (hairpins) so that you can enjoy a higher level of fashion.
The number of people using hairpins has been increasing recently!
I've been seeing them more and more around town, which makes me very happy as I love hairpins!
Today we will introduce you to their appeal and some recommended hairpins that make great gifts!
"Wouldn't it be a problem if someone gave you a hairpin?"
"I don't even know what it is myself... so I don't think it's a good idea to give it as a gift."
We will respond to such voices.
That's what I thought at first too.
Once you try it , you'll find it's easy and convenient !!
This is what I mean when I say it was an eye-opener!
Once you get used to it, you can style your hair up in just 30 seconds! It won't fall apart even if you exercise.
You can even use it in the bath ! Truly versatile!
There's another reason why it's a perfect gift: there are so many different ways to arrange it.
Of course, there's the "upstyle" that puts your hair together in one piece.
"Half-up" and "Twist" recommended for those with short hair.
We also recommend using two or three needles for multiple stitches.
There are a wide variety of hairpins, including the "glass bead hairpin" for everyday use and the "double hairpin" for dates. Once you start collecting them, you'll definitely be hooked!
There are also other fashionable items that girls love, such as fan-shaped hairpins, swaying items, sparkling items, and rustling items!
Perfect as a gift! I'd like to introduce my recommended Kanzashi! 
[Cherry Blossom Branch Glass Ball Hairpin]
・A glass bead hairpin that captures the scene of cherry blossoms in full bloom.
The pale pink color is very cute.
The glass bead hairpin uses a durable, rust-resistant rhodium-coated brass shaft, so it's perfect for use in the bath or pool ! 
[ichirin Kanzashi Crystal - Silver/Gold/Tortoiseshell]
The two colors of gold and silver foil in the transparent acrylic material give off a simple yet subtle shine. The tortoiseshell finish gives off an impression of sophisticated femininity . This is also popular. 
[One foam ball hairpin [Peach/Blue]]
This hairpin features a soap bubble motif and is made with aurora beads and transparent sequins. It has a cute finish that sways with every movement .
Cute old-fashioned items! Japanese accessories!
Hair arrangements and hair accessories are essential for everyday fashion and style! What kind of hair accessories do you use?
Sparkly, feminine and relatively inexpensive accessories such as barrettes, banana clips, scrunchies and hair clips are popular.
Did you know that there are also Japanese hair accessories ?
Hair ornaments have been popular in Japan since ancient times.
Yes! It's a "kanzashi" (hairpin)!
When we think of hairpins, we tend to think of fan-shaped ones or the luxurious ones worn by maiko, but there are also many simpler and easier-to-use ones.
It would be a waste to use it only for Japanese clothing!!
We'd like to introduce you to some stylish hairpins that can be used for everyday wear . 
[Hydrangea glass bead hairpin]
Here's the classic! Glass bead hairpin .
It looks simple, but it's incredibly versatile! The sturdy brass shaft is rust-resistant and can be used anywhere!
It's sturdy and you can easily tie your hair up with just one .
Each glass bead attached to the tip is handmade by a craftsman.
Enjoy the detailed design and individual differences that can only be achieved through handcrafting. In fact, when you wear it in your hair, it sparkles and shines, and even just one is enough to create a cute look! 
Recommended for stylish outings or dates!
It's so cute!! The drop beads are so pretty.
The thin chain also sways slightly, catching your eye!
My recommendation is "half up" !
By doing a half-up style, the hairpin will be at the top and have a great presence!
The Fiona hairpin is removable, so the ball chain can also be used as a necklace with a bead pendant top.
I have introduced two of my recommended hairpins, but have I been able to convey the charm of hairpins?
Instead of thinking of hairpins as something special, why not try adding them to your everyday fashion accessories? They also make a great gift for someone special.
A Japanese item to give to that stylish girl.
When giving a gift, you want to know the recipient's tastes and hobbies.
Even if you have friends or family members who are on good terms with you, your fashion sense may be different, right? What kind of gift should you give them? What would they actually use?
The modern world is overflowing with things, and there are a wide variety of cultural genres.
If there was an item that could fit into any genre and could even have a synergistic effect , wouldn't you want to incorporate it into your wardrobe?
So what I would like to recommend is some Japanese items.
It goes well with pop, rock and even punk!
It's not just for hardwearing, but can also be worn with everyday wear, as well as with neat and languid styles.
It might be a good idea to start with simple items like small items and miscellaneous goods. Why not try incorporating Japanese items that go with anything into your gift?
This time I'd like to introduce some of my favorite easy-to-use Japanese items!
That is silver accessories!!
Many people say, "I'm already using it!" and "I love it!"
Silver accessories are extremely popular, but now they've been given an extra Japanese touch!
Not only are they cool, but depending on the motif they can also be cute and luxurious! They are reborn as such items.
We would like to introduce you to the unbeatable collaboration of "Japanese style x Silver."
