Happiness-Bringing Hair Accessory, Kimono Scrunchie, Kō-no-ji Tsuanagi Mon

<Beauty, Uniquely Yours, Bringing You Happiness> The materials for this creation are exquisite kimono fabrics, chosen from thousands sleeping in wardrobes, featuring auspicious patterns. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, infused with the wish for the wearer's happiness. <A Gift of Japanese Tradition> We give new life to kimono fabrics slumbering in wardrobes, honoring the local tradition of Wata-ri town in Miyagi Prefecture, where elderly women uphold the saying, "Never discard cloth that can wrap three adzuki beans." Our craft transforms small scraps of fabric into items of beauty and charm. These are cherished as thoughtful gifts for small tokens of appreciation or greetings. <An Item to Adorn Your Presence> This hair accessory harmonizes beautifully with kimonos and yukatas, as well as any attire, allowing you to express your individuality. Beyond being a retro-modern hair adornment, it can also be used as an arm band or book band, proving conveniently useful to have on hand. <Symbols of Good Fortune: Auspicious Motifs> These are auspicious patterns, used as "symbols of good fortune," and understanding their meanings offers a glimpse into the profound depths of Japanese culture passed down through generations. <Kō-no-ji Tsuanagi Mon> "Abundant Harvests and Protection from Calamity" The character for "Kō" is also depicted on ancient bronze bells and is thought to possess mystical properties. <The Joy of Gazing and Collecting> The auspicious patterned kimono fabrics are a delight to behold, bringing images of happiness simply by gazing at them. By collecting your favorite pieces, you can enjoy creating your own personal gallery. *Images are for illustrative purposes. Items are sold individually.

Please note that the pattern placement may differ slightly from the photograph due to the cutting position of the fabric. *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. *Please understand that the kimono fabrics used as materials are often secondhand and their composition cannot be precisely identified due to a lack of labeling. We thoroughly inspect and process (including washing) the fabrics before remaking them. Some fabrics may cause color bleeding or shrinkage when wet, so please handle with care. *As these items are also sold on other platforms, please forgive us in the event of a sell-out.
