Length: Approximately 17.8cm This is a hairpin from Kazura-Sei in Gion, Kyoto. It features a lustrous black lacquer finish with gold makie and mother-of-pearl inlay. This is a high-end, artisan-crafted item that is rarely available these days. The cherry blossom design is a versatile motif suitable for any season. It is not sold in online shops. Upon inspection, some scratches were found in places. They are not noticeable when worn in the hair, so it is recommended for those who don't mind. When paired with a crepe-fabric tsumami-zaiku hair ornament, it can be used for Shichi-Go-San, Thirteen-Year-Old ceremonies, and coming-of-age ceremonies. It also looks stylish when paired with a visiting kimono. It's not overly flashy, so it's also recommended for adult women. Just inserting one into an updo will elevate your look.
