Thank you for viewing. This is a hera-shaped kanzashi (hair ornament) featuring a red base with camellia patterns, adorned with genuine lacquer and pure gold maki-e (sprinkled picture) by Kazura-Sei. Camellias, which bloom in early spring after enduring the harsh winter, symbolize "nobility," "pride," and "elegance," and have been cherished as auspicious motifs since ancient times. The camellias depicted in gold maki-e on the lustrous red base combine both splendor and refinement, resulting in a beautiful finish that complements Japanese attire. The hera-shaped kanzashi has a sleek shape that is easy to use and is a suitable item for weddings and formal occasions. It further enhances formal attire such as visiting kimonos, tomesode (formal black kimono for married women), and furisode (long-sleeved kimono for unmarried women). 【Accessories】 Paper box About Kazura-Sei Kazura-Sei is a long-established brand that specializes in traditional Japanese hair ornaments.
