🌸 History

Kanzashi are Japanese hair ornaments with a history that reaches back to the Yayoi period. Archaeological and museum records identify hairpins from this period as kanzashi, although this does not establish a precise date of invention. During the Edo period, kanzashi became widely fashionable as women adopted elaborate upswept hairstyles, with hair ornaments taking increasingly decorative forms. The broader tradition also includes tsumami-kanzashi, a craft in which small pieces of silk are pinched and folded to create forms such as flowers and birds.

This bachi-shaped kanzashi is a Japanese hair ornament intended for weddings and formal tomesode ensembles. It features hand-painted maki-e decoration and pearl accents.
