Thank you for viewing. This is a Shinyama Wedding Wooden Genuine Lacquer Gold Maki-e Cattleya & Asanoha Pattern Bachi-gata Kanzashi (Hair Ornament). This is a high-class item with a wooden base coated with genuine lacquer and decorated with Cattleya and Asanoha patterns in gold maki-e. The calm luster and the elegant shine of the gold maki-e are beautifully harmonized, providing the gorgeousness and dignity befitting a wedding. Cattleya Pattern Cattleya is a flower that symbolizes "nobility," "elegance," and "mature beauty," making it a design suitable for celebratory occasions. Although it is a Western flower, it naturally blends with Japanese attire due to the maki-e technique. Asanoha Pattern The Asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern is a lucky pattern that signifies healthy growth and warding off evil, as hemp leaves grow quickly and straight. It has been used in celebrations since ancient times. Because it is a bachi-gata (a type of kanzashi shape), it fits well when inserted into the hair and beautifully enhances the back of the head. It is a kanzashi with a refined and dignified quality, made with the reliable craftsmanship of Shinyama. This item is recommended for weddings, ceremonies, and formal Japanese attire.
