Kanzashi are hair ornaments worn traditionally by geisha, maiko, and for weddings, ceremonies, and other special celebratory occasions by the beautiful women of Japan.

Distinguished in style and exquisite craftsmanship, all of our kanzashi hair ornaments are authentic, re-found, one-of-a-kind Japanese wearable works of art.

Kanzashi are fabricated from a wide range of materials such as lacquered wood, gold and silver plated metal, tortoiseshell and silk, and recently, plastic. In fact, early bakelite kanzashi are extremely collectible. There are several basic kanzashi styles, along with more complex and seasonal arrangements as well.

The perfect accent for any occasion- a casual night out, a special event, date, or party… these spectacular Japanese hair ornaments are exquisite examples of timeless beauty.

Indulge, enjoy- the way you wear them is entirely up to you… add that subtle breath-taking touch to your favorite ‘do’.

This piece is an authentic antique bridal style molded two-tone crimson red and jet black resin kanzashi. It's too perfect- I've never seen such a classy, superbly crafted, absolutely drop-dead gorgeous kanzashi. It's a vintage piece- crafted from molded resin with glitzy golden metal and pearl accents. The base to anchor into an elaborate wedding hairstyle features a long tapered prong- it's a good length and sturdy which allows you to create lovely angle when positioning the kanzashi in your hair.

The main decorative centerpiece is adorned with intricate gold filigree butterflies, flowers, and subtle pearl accents. They stand out great providing glamor and contrast against the crimson red geometric molded resin background/ base.

A kanzashi of this quality and sheer caliber is hard to come by- and would be extremely pricey and highly collectible even today in Japan. Don't miss this beauty!!!

Measures 7" in length (18cm), and 2" across the decorative portion (5cm)
