Probably one of my favourite side characters ever. Just silly and fun 🤣

Hi all!

I’m wondering if anyone here can tell me anything about this comb and if it even is one and not just a hair stick?

I found it (and bought it lol) when I was searching for authentic Nihongami tsugegushi, and I’m sure I have seen it used to keep Katsura bin tidy which is why I’ve chosen this sub to post in.

Please be honest if you know it’s not what I think it is…I’ll still love it anyway 🥰

Thank you in advance for any light you can shed! 🌸

Hi everyone!

It’s been a while since I posted about my homemade kanzashi, but as usual, life gets in the way and now I have a few more to share 😅

I use jewellery findings, steel rods and beads. I don’t solder metal as I create these in my bedroom haha, the pieces are carefully secured together by wrapping thin wire and are surprisingly sturdy.

I hope you enjoy my creations!

I’m obsessed with making Oiran-style bira kanzashi hairpins especially, heavily inspired by the photoshoot studios that offer the Oiran and GeiMaiko shoots.

They’re basically things that I can’t get a hold of myself being in the UK, so I thought why not try to make them 😅🌸
