Thank you for viewing. This is a very beautiful and elegant lacquer hairpin. I purchased it at Kinchiku-do in Gion, Kyoto. The bundled gift pattern is a design that can be used for a long time, regardless of age. I used it about twice, but I cut my hair and no longer have a use for it. *Comes with a paulownia wood box (with the Kinchiku-do mark on the inside of the lid) *No scratches, in beautiful condition.
