A one-of-a-kind beauty that brings happiness to you. The materials for this creation are selected from thousands of kimono fabrics, slumbering in traditional chests, featuring auspicious patterns. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with a wish for the happiness of the person who holds it. A Japanese Gift We utilize kimono fabrics that have been stored away, upholding the local wisdom from Watari Town, Miyagi Prefecture, passed down from elderly women: "Never discard a cloth that can wrap three adzuki beans." We create beautiful and charming items from small pieces of fabric. They are also cherished as thoughtful gifts for small tokens of appreciation or greetings. An Item to Adorn Your Back View These hair accessories blend seamlessly with kimonos and yukatas, as well as any other attire. They allow the wearer to express their individuality. Beyond being retro-modern hair accessories, they can also be used as armbands or book bands. It's convenient to have one on hand.

Please note that the pattern may differ slightly from the photo depending on the cutting position of the fabric. *Please understand that the color and texture may appear different on your screen compared to the actual product. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. *Since the kimono fabrics used as materials are often secondhand and their exact composition is not always indicated, we often cannot identify the material. We thoroughly inspect, wash, and process the fabrics before remaking them. Please be aware that some fabrics may cause color fading or shrinking when wet, and handle them with care. *As these items are also sold on other sites, please forgive us in case of a sell-out.
