Oribe Ware Kintsugi Barrette Green Abalone Shell Traditional Craft Large Hair Clip a34

A Kintsugi barrette featuring Oribe ware shards and abalone shell, characterized by its striking deep green hue. This piece incorporates Oribe ware from the traditional craftsman Mr. Tōshō Fukuoka, a ceramic artist from Kumamoto Prefecture, accented with the mystical shimmer of abalone shell. Pottery that has fallen out of use is upcycled, meticulously repaired with Kintsugi, and reborn as a new accessory. At engrace, we breathe new life into broken or chipped ceramics, "Bringing nature and Japanese tradition into a form that can be enjoyed in everyday life." This is the sentiment infused into our creations. The profound green of Oribe ware harmonizes with the iridescent glow of abalone shell, revealing various expressions with each shift in angle. Kintsugi is also applied to the sides of the pottery shards, ensuring beauty from every profile and lending an elegant presence. Simply pairing this with a basic hairstyle instantly adds a captivating accent to your ensemble. It complements casual outfits beautifully, as well as dresses, kimonos, and formal wear. The generous size of this barrette makes it a wonderful choice for those who prefer to secure their entire head of hair. 【Size】 Barrette Overall: Approx. 10cm Metal Clip Size: Approx. 85mm Despite using pottery shards, it feels surprisingly lightweight when worn. A truly unique, one-of-a-kind piece. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone special. *You will receive the exact item pictured.

This work is crafted using a modern, simplified Kintsugi technique, employing adhesive for bonding. Urushi (Kintsugi lacquer) and gold powder (brass powder/pearl powder) are used for the Kintsugi sections, with UV resin also used for reinforcement.
