kisetsu - Tsumami Kanzashi - Matsuri/Sensu - Rain

Tsumami kanzashi are hair ornaments made of pinched silk that are traditionally worn by maiko (apprentice geisha) to decorate their hair for formal occasions. This set is a 3 piece set that includes the main maiko style hana kanzashi, a small mezashi with one flower, and a bridge over the mage or bun of the hairstyle.

This set is a bit different from most; it's based on the kanzashi that maiko wear for odori (dances). It has shiny metal flowers on the bridge, and the hana kanzashi is done in a motif of sensu (folding fans) decorated with nadeshiko (pinks) blossoms, summer greens and swirls of water.
