🌸 History

Kanzashi are Japanese hair ornaments with a history extending well beyond fabric flowers. Surviving examples include a silver hairpin from the Hōryūji treasures, dated to the Nara period in the eighth century. Their use changed alongside hairstyles: from the middle Heian period, aristocratic women’s preference for long, loose hair reduced the role of ornamental hairpins. The return of elaborate, bundled hairstyles during the Edo period encouraged renewed development of hair ornaments. Kanzashi became especially fashionable in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. With Westernization from the Meiji period onward, traditional ornaments gradually declined in everyday use rather than disappearing abruptly; many women initially retained kimono and traditional hairstyles.

The product is identified as a tama kanzashi, a bead-topped hair ornament, for everyday wear and styling with kimono or yukata.
