Hanakoromo Kanzashi (Paulownia Wood Box)

Timeless beauty created by artisans in Kyoto's Nishijin. "Hanakoromo" is Oharihako's most popular authentic Kanzashi, beautifully adorning life's special "Hare no Hi" (auspicious occasions) such as Coming-of-Age ceremonies, Shichi-Go-San, and weddings.

Using "Tango Chirimen (100% pure silk)," which is used for the finest kimonos, our artisans meticulously fold each piece of fabric using the "Tsumami Zaiku" technique, crafting beautiful seasonal flowers like a bouquet.

＜Product Features＞

• Splendor woven from 10 delicate flowers: Featuring motifs of "plum, chrysanthemum, and cherry blossoms," which are depicted on most furisode and formal kimonos, this classical design blends well with any kimono.

• Beautifully swaying long dangling ornaments: The tips of the dangling ornaments, which sway gracefully with every step, are adorned with small bells, allowing you to enjoy a refined weight and a light, clear sound.

• For both Nihongami and modern Western hairstyles: It beautifully stands out as an accent not only for traditional Nihongami (Japanese traditional hairstyles) but also for trendy Western hair arrangements.

By combining it with the separately sold "Hankusu Kanzashi" or "Hankusu Clip," you can achieve an even more voluminous and luxurious look. Please choose your favorite set from our wide range of color variations to match the colors and patterns of your kimono.
