I believe this is from the brand "Noren." It has a strong grip and holds firmly. Condition: I stored it for a long time without using it much. There is some aging on the silver base. Please check the images and only purchase if you are satisfied. Material: Acrylic resin, Japanese fabric Product dimensions (length x width): 8.5 x 4 cm This is a popular accessory series that encapsulates Japanese patterned fabric in acrylic. Originally, it was created from the attempt to give new value to precious scraps of old fabric that would have been discarded, and turn them into accessories. Each piece is unique due to the fabric placement, making it a one-of-a-kind accessory. It can be used as an accent for up-dos, to tie up your hair a little, or to hold your bangs back when applying makeup, and it's useful to have around. It's perfect for everyday use, as well as for hair arrangements with yukata, kimono, and other traditional Japanese attire, or for parties, making it an ideal gift for women. With its Japanese-style motifs, it's also a popular product among women overseas.
