Happiness-Inviting Hair Ornament: Kimono Scrunchie Premium Silk

A unique beauty that brings happiness to you The materials for this work are kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns, carefully selected from thousands of pieces slumbering in chests of drawers. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted with the wish for the happiness of the person who holds it. A Japanese Gift Utilizing kimono fabrics stored in chests of drawers, we create products that give shape to the beauty and loveliness residing in small pieces of cloth, adhering to the local saying in Watari Town, Miyagi Prefecture, passed down by elderly women: "Do not discard cloth that can wrap three adzuki beans." These are also well-received as gifts to accompany small tokens of appreciation or greetings. An Item that Adds Radiance to Your Back View These hair ornaments blend seamlessly not only with kimonos and yukatas but also with any outfit, allowing the wearer to express their individuality. They can be used as retro-modern hair accessories, as well as armbands or book bands. It's convenient to have one in your bag. A Symbol of Happiness: Auspicious Patterns Knowing the meaning of Japanese patterns, which are used as auspicious symbols and "signs of happiness," is also a way to touch upon the depth of Japanese culture passed down through the ages. A collection of auspicious patterns, including the autumn leaves motif, are gathered here. <Fan Pattern> "Success in life and career," "Improvement in skills and arts." The fan, with its expanding auspiciousness and changing shape, is also called "suehiro" and is a familiar pattern symbolizing good fortune. <Kanoko Pattern> "Prosperity of descendants." The Joy of Gazing and Collecting Kimono fabrics with auspicious patterns that delight the eyes are items that bring a sense of happiness just by looking at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery. *The photo is for illustrative purposes. Items are sold individually.

Please understand that the pattern may appear slightly different from the photo depending on the cutting position of the fabric. *Please note that colors and textures may appear different from the actual product on your screen. If you have any concerns, please contact us or refrain from purchasing. *Since the kimono fabrics used as materials are often secondhand and lack labels, their materials cannot always be identified. We thoroughly inspect and process the fabrics, including washing, before remaking them. Please be aware that some fabrics may fade or shrink when wet, so please handle them with care. *As we also sell on other sites, please forgive us if an item is out of stock.
