Description
This silver hairpin has a delicate impression, with a single gorgeously blooming white camellia as its motif.
The large camellia and its small bud, with the soft texture of the petals carefully rendered, are rendered using a technique unique to silver called a white finish. The leaves, pistils, stamens, and stems, each with meticulous carving of each vein, are rendered in matte brass. The contrast between the soft gold and silver creates a luxurious feel. The sturdy brass shaft makes it easy to use even for those with long hair, and it can be used alone to hold your hair up. This kanzashi is easy to coordinate with Western clothing and yukata, regardless of the season. Its simple design allows you to enjoy a variety of outfits, whether you wear it alone for an elegant look or use it with a hanging kanzashi as an accent.
Designer's thoughts
White camellias, whose flower language includes "pride," "supreme loveliness," and "complete beauty," evoke an impression of innocence and nobility. This hairpin was designed to capture the noble presence of the white camellia, which harbors such graceful beauty. It has been meticulously crafted, down to the soft texture of the petals, the veins of the leaves, the stamens and pistils, and the modestly nestled buds. The matte brass and unique technique of whitening silver create a beautiful impression, reminiscent of a white camellia. It is perfect for any occasion when you want to create an elegant look. It also makes a great gift, as its flower language is "supreme loveliness."
