⭐️ Small Hairpin ⭐️ #DeerRabbitWafuku (Japanese clothing) #DeerRabbitCoral I purchased this as coral, but it may be a kneaded product of coral powder. Please be aware of this. ✨✨✨ I purchased it as coral, but I am not an expert on coral, so I cannot say for sure. It may be kneaded coral or artificial coral. [Kneaded Coral] This is made by mixing and kneading coral powder, etc., that comes out during the coral carving process. According to a senior traditional craftsperson, it is a technique that has been around for quite some time, and some of the finished products are very good. ✨✨✨ I purchased it as vintage, and I tried it for the first time this time, and it is surprisingly well-made and stays in place. As a hairpin, it seems to be very excellent. ✨✨✨ In the world of antique kimonos, the definition of antique is not as strict as in the case of antique antiques. Therefore, I think that even hairpins like this are sometimes marked as antique. Originally, an antique is an item that is over 100 years old. In Japan, Showa 1st year is 99 years. Meiji 1st year 1868 Taisho 1st year 1912 Showa 1st year 1926 Heisei 1st year 1989 Reiwa 1st year 2019 ✨✨✨ This is a hairpin I purchased for reference when I was studying metalwork and carving. In the end, I didn't make anything, so I kept it stored without using it as a reference. ✨✨✨ [Defect] There may have been another coral ball in the design. This is the current price. ✨✨✨ This hairpin is a point of design that is good for actual use. ✨✨✨ #DeerRabbitAccessories #DeerRabbitHairOrnaments ✨✨✨ Please see my profile.
