Purchased over thirty years ago at a shop in Gion. This is a rare design featuring a waka poem in maki-e lacquer, likely a one-of-a-kind piece or one of a very limited number made. I have used it for many years, so there are slight paint chips on the legs and sides, and numerous fine scratches on the back, but the parts visible when worn are beautiful. The photos are taken from the angle where the damage is most visible, so the actual item is less noticeable than in the photos. It will be sent in a paulownia wood box from Kazurasei Old Store. Returns and exchanges are not accepted. Price is not negotiable. #KazuraseiOldStore #Kazurasei #Kanzashi #Maki-e #Antique #Gion #Kyoto
