Description
A traditional Japanese hair ornament set dating back to the Edo period
This is a 7-piece set of traditional Japanese hair ornaments that have been used since the Edo period (1603–1868) in Japan.
These ornaments are most commonly worn with Bunken Takashimada, a formal Japanese bridal hairstyle, but they can also be used individually as hair accessories for traditional styling, performances, or cultural displays.
The set consists of three main types of Japanese hair ornaments:
-
Kanzashi – decorative hairpins
-
Kushi – traditional Japanese combs
-
Kogai – a long, sword-shaped hair ornament historically worn in pairs
During the Edo period, hair ornaments held deep meaning for Japanese women.
They symbolized status, pride, beauty, popularity, and even emotional bonds with loved ones.
Rather than simple accessories, these items were personal and cultural expressions, carrying stories and sentiments through generations.
This set reflects that rich cultural background and is ideal for those interested in Japanese history, traditional fashion, cultural collections, or authentic styling accessories.
