Description
This is a single hairpin that replicates the silhouette of a "tied plum" which is an auspicious way of tying.
Each and every kanzashi is hand-carved by artisans, resulting in a tasteful finish. The ebony's hard, mellow texture lends it a sophisticated impression, while its simplicity makes it suitable for casual wear. Its distinctive deep color and intricate, heavy, and sturdy material are its hallmarks. The carefully crafted kanzashi has a smooth texture and an elegant sheen. With use, it will develop a unique texture, making it a timeless piece that you'll treasure forever. Enjoy the texture and rich, deep sheen you can only get from hand-carving. The wood is non-slip, making it easy to style even thick hair with just one kanzashi, making it a great choice for beginners. The simple design complements other kanzashi and is perfect for layering.
Designer's thoughts
This hairpin features the motif of a gracefully blooming plum blossom and the traditional decorative knot "ume musubi." Crafted from materials that will preserve its fleeting, radiant appearance for years to come, it features a natural harmony created by combining wood with a plant design. Wood develops a unique character with age, so we created a simple silhouette design to ensure its long-lasting use. The rounded design, reminiscent of a picture, inspires the imagination, and is intended to create an even greater attachment. The natural wood color creates a chic and warm atmosphere, easily matching with both traditional Japanese clothing and casual clothing, making it a wonderful accent piece. We hope you find a design you like.

| Product Features | Each piece is handmade and made from natural materials, so the texture will vary from piece to piece. |
