Description
This single hairpin is based on the traditional flat hairpin, but has a modern design with a cherry blossom motif openwork pattern.
A flat kanzashi is a hairpin with an earpick-shaped base and a flat, circular ornament. The ornament features an openwork pattern based on the traditional Japanese "mountain cherry blossom" motif. The carefully crafted pattern has a thick outline, making it a simple yet striking flat kanzashi. The front and back have a matte finish that exudes warmth. The sides are polished to a glossy finish, adding texture to the finish.
Designer's thoughts
This traditional flat hairpin features a traditional floral family crest. Often considered the national flower, the cherry blossom continues to be beloved by the Japanese for its purity and transience. This hairpin features a crest called the Yamazakura crest, which uses the cherry blossom. The handle is engraved with a pattern reminiscent of a vine. The handle is a little short, making this a great addition to short hair or when you want a little more volume.

For those with long or thick hair, it is recommended to insert it into a half-up style or tied up, or as a second hairpin for a hairstyle. For those with shorter hair, it can be inserted into braids, etc. |
