🌸 History

Kanzashi are Japanese hair ornaments, with a history closely linked to changing hairstyles. Earlier loose-hanging styles had little need for hairpins. As elaborate upswept hairstyles spread during the Edo period, kanzashi developed into increasingly varied decorative accessories. The middle Edo period was particularly important in this flourishing tradition. Within the broader kanzashi tradition, Edo tsumami-kanzashi is a distinct craft in which small silk squares are folded and pinched into forms such as flowers and birds. Later changes in hairstyles during the Meiji period and beyond encouraged more restrained ornament designs. In 1982, Edo tsumami-kanzashi was designated a Tokyo Metropolitan traditional craft—a recognition of this particular technique, rather than of all kanzashi.

This tama kanzashi features a single shaft topped with a round ornament and is intended for everyday wear as well as kimono and yukata.
