Kanzashi



I love Etsy! They just had a new article I found today about the art of Japanese Kanzashi making.You can read the article Here.  These elaborate fabric ornaments are carefully handmade traditionally from silk and are worn with kimono and traditional dress. Earlier this year I found an amazing kanzashi artist named Yonuko. Her Kanzashi are just exquisite! I wish I could find where to buy her wares. You can read an awesome article  in Ping magazine's archive about her and the making process here. I find constant inspiration from looking at these gorgeous hair ornaments.


This is my Favorite of Yonuko's.
