Modern hair clips by Furifu, apparently inspired by Chinese brides hairpins (? I don't know enought about Chinese traditional fashion/modern hanfu revival to know what they are referencing here ^^;).

Anyway, cute clips nicely complimenting the A+ red furisode styling!

Kanzashi of The Month: March - Daffodils

Nearly two years ago I made what I thought would be my last kanzashi series entry, but then Kazurasei sucks me right back in with a motif that they've never posted before and thus, I never got a chance to cover before. So, here we are, once again, with another kanzashi motif! As always, kanzashi are courtesy of Kazurasei.

Image is courtesy of Kazurasei. Suisen (水仙) - Daffodil One of the rarer motifs, daffodils have some interesting symbolism. Their scientific name, Narcissus, is an ode to the Greek nymph of the same name who fell so in love with his own reflection that he eventually turned into a flower that drooped down towards water to eternally watch himself. Even its Japanese name, Suisen, translates to "Water Hermit," alluding to its Greek origins. Like its origin story, daffodils grow on upright stems but flower outward, slightly drooping, and can be found growing wild in fields, marshes, or near water. They're a perennial bulb, so they come back year after year, but don't need to be dug up like other bulbs as they're extremely cold hardy. They're praised worldwide as being heralds of spring as they're among the first flowers to bloom once the weather begins to warm. Since they're a bulb they're often grown inside and given as gifts to wish others a happy spring before the perennial kind bloom outside.

My mononoke hair sticks are here!!! They're shaped like the tenbin used by the medicine seller and they're GORGEOUS

These are gigantic (20cm long; regular hair sticks are typically 17-18cm), and the bells ring when you turn your head while wearing them...!

(don't mind the messy bun) it is really really big (literally the biggest one I own)

The edges and centre are also translucent!!!

I'm so glad I bought them they're soooo pretty (thank you to my tomodachi who helped me get them I am in your debt)

Butterfly and Wisteria. This hair ornament has five branches of silk wisteria flowers which create an elegant flow of cascading violet gradient petals. Each of the 97 petals is hand-painted using habutae silk, folded, and "pinched" in traditional tsumami method.

Spotlight: Alternative January Kanzashi While the yearly kanzashi are always in the spotlight, it’s important not to forget the kanzashi that the maiko of Kamishichiken and Gion Higashi wear too. Often featuring the same design elements as the other kagai, they’re unique in that they don’t need to feature kangiku as a base. They still use the same motifs that the other kagai pull from, but they feature them in unique combinations. The kanzashi above feature the following motifs: Kanzashi #1 Cranes (鶴), Pine (松), and Plum Blossoms (梅) Kanzashi #2 Folding Fans (扇子) and Pine (松) Kanzashi #3 Battledores (羽子板), Pine Needles (松葉), and Plum Blossoms (梅) Kanzashi #4 Bobbins (糸巻), Plum Blossoms (梅), and Pine (松) Kanzashi #5 Plum Blossoms (梅), Pine Needles (松葉), and Pine (松) Kanzashi #6 Cranes (鶴) and Pine (松) All images are courtesy of Gion Dteel Product [1] [2].
