Hasu (Lotus) Kanzashi Single

Description

This little lotus kanzashi is made from habotai silk and each petal is individually hand dyed, hand folded and mounted by yours truly and it has a single green leaf and a bright golden yellow fiber center.

It's mounted on a simple metal alligator clip for easy, comfortable wear.

The bloom is just under 2" wide.The kanzashi pictured may not be actual kanzashi you will receive - I made these as a batch, so they are all practically identical with only minute 'handmade' differences. I assure you that you'll be satisfied!

---Kanzashi Background & Care---
Kanzashi are hair ornaments worn in traditional Japanese hair styles, most often seen adorning geisha or maiko or worn with kimono attire. Flower kanzashi are called 'hana kanzashi' and the traditional technique used to make this type is called 'tsumami'.

All of my kanzashi are made using as many traditional Japanese techniques and materials as is possible. The few modern materials I use are only done so to make the assembly stronger for more liberal wear.
