♥ Welcome ♥ My name is Cassandra Harris and I've been making kanzashi for a few years now and have a strong interest in Japanese culture. For now, I mostly make simple, everyday kanzashi that anyone can wear and look cute in! ········ What is TSUMAMI KANZASHI? Kanzashi is a Japanese word meaning "hair ornament". Tsumami (not to be confused with tsunami--the big ocean wave) is a Japanese verb which describes the technique of folding squares of silk to create a flower (or a bird or a butterfly...) and is a very long-practiced art!
