Upcycled Kimono Kanzashi

From the Creator –
As I continued creating, I learned about kimono fabric that can no longer be worn. I realized I could give it a new life by making unique Kanzashi. Now, I upcycle kimono fabric to create one-of-a-kind Tsumami Kanzashi. Even if you don’t live in Japan, I hope my work brings a piece of Japanese beauty into your life. ・I use carefully selected antique kimono fabric. ・Each piece is handcrafted with care, following traditional techniques. I value preserving and passing down Japanese traditions for the future.
