Thank you for viewing. This is a gorgeous kanzashi (hair ornament) suitable for a wedding. The base is made of resin, resembling black tortoiseshell, and features delicate gold maki-e (lacquer sprinkled with gold powder) depictions of seigaiha (waves) and katawaguruma (half-wheel) patterns. Seigaiha represents calm, ever-expanding waves and is a lucky pattern symbolizing "peace" and "prosperity." Katawaguruma is a design inspired by the wheels of ox-drawn carriages used by nobles in the Heian period. The image of the wheels floating on water conveys the meaning of "warding off misfortune," and it has been a popular pattern since ancient times, expressing wishes for protection from evil and longevity. This is a gorgeous item suitable for special occasions such as weddings, celebrations, and parties. It can also be used with everyday kimono and yukata (summer kimono). #koudo #香堂 #こうどう japanese kimono jewelry kanzashi hair ornament #kimono #着物 #kimono #visiting kimono #furisode #unmarked kimono #tomesode #tsukesage #komon #tsumugi #yukata #summer kimono #waso #kimono coordinate #kimono lover #kimono girl #kimono boy #kimono beginner #wafuku #waso coordinate #recycled kimono #antique kimono #Taisho Roman #Showa retro #old cloth #wa-modern #kimono remake #hair ornament #waso accessories #waso hair #waso hair ornament #yukata hair #kimono hair #wagami #nihongami #raden #antique kanzashi #traditional crafts #artisan skills #small items #Edo crafts #obi dome #obi stop #waso accessories #kimono coordination #obi area #waso style #antique obi stop #obijime #waso fashion #people who like kimono #
