Description
This is a single hairpin made from "mizuhiki," a traditional Japanese cord, arranged in the shape of a cat.
This cat-shaped item features a vibrant tassel and is inspired by the traditional Japanese art of mizuhiki. Mizuhiki has been associated with respect for etiquette since ancient times, symbolizing connections between people and hearts, and is a traditional craft that has been cherished and passed down through the generations. Mizuhiki is often used on celebratory envelopes, gifts, and kimono obi clasps, and this charming, modern take on the mizuhiki is a charming addition to any occasion. The long, non-slip wooden shaft makes it easy to style even thick hair. It pairs well with casual attire, kimonos, and yukatas, regardless of the season.
