Tsukimachi Kikko Kanzashi Wooden Hairpin – Fox & Chrysanthemum

Handcrafted one by one from carefully selected Japanese Keyaki wood, this Kanzashi depicts a fox curling its back in the twilight, with a chrysanthemum on its back symbolizing good fortune. Finished with repeated layers of Fuki-Urushi lacquer, it reveals a deep, warm luster that grows more beautiful with time and use. In Japanese folklore, the fox is regarded as a bringer of blessings and a guardian of connections, while the chrysanthemum represents longevity and nobility. Together, they embody both elegance and a talisman-like meaning. Designed to complement both kimono and modern attire, this Kanzashi can be enjoyed in daily life as well as on special occasions. It is a unique hair ornament that carries the beauty of Japanese tradition and craftsmanship, making it an ideal gift or heirloom. This piece is lovingly handcrafted by the artisan “Ippo,” who continues to create with a deep respect for wood, Urushi, and the quiet beauty of Japan.
