What is “KANZASHI”?

Kanzashi are traditional Japanese hair accessories made from materials like wood, metal, or silk. Originally used in ancient Japan to ward off evil spirits, they became decorative symbols of elegance during the Edo period.

Today, Kanzashi are used in traditional settings like tea ceremonies and by geisha, as well as in modern fashion, blending Japanese tradition with contemporary style.

かんざしは、木材、金属、絹などで作られた日本の伝統的な髪飾りです。古代日本では邪気を払うお守りとして使われ、江戸時代には優雅さを象徴する装飾品として発展しました。

現在では、茶道や芸者などの伝統的な場面で使われるだけでなく、現代ファッションにも取り入れられ、日本の伝統と現代のスタイルを融合させた魅力的なアイテムとなっています。
