Thank you for viewing! I purchased this item because I loved it when I traveled to Wakayama. It's a rare wooden barrette dyed using the Tachiki-zome technique. Size: Approximately 10.5 cm wide, 3.5 cm long. Compared to Tachiki-zome jewelry, the larger size is one of the charms of a barrette (hair clip). It's a hair accessory with a fantastically beautiful wood grain. No two are exactly alike, making each one a unique, one-of-a-kind item in the world. The beauty inherent in the wood itself is brought to the surface and made clearly visible to the eye through the dyeing process. Simply gather your hair and secure it with the wooden barrette. It will instantly change your look. Please enjoy various hair arrangements using this barrette. I cherish this item very much, but I've cut my hair short and no longer use it. It's a waste, so I'd like to pass it on to someone who will appreciate it. Thank you.
