New, Unused Ebony Openwork Hairpin This is a hand-carved openwork hairpin made from ebony, which has a deep, calming black color. Ebony is a very hard and durable high-grade wood that has been prized since ancient times. This hairpin is carved using traditional techniques, and the delicate openwork pattern beautifully complements the hair. It adds an elegant accent to not only traditional Japanese clothing and yukata, but also everyday hairstyles. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans, making it a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
