kisetsu - Tsumami Kanzashi - 7 Kiku - Yellow & White

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 petal covered kushi or comb.

This set with the slightly larger flowers in the hana kanzashi and the comb style instead of a flowered bridge would be worn by a somewhat more senior maiko, and the kiku/chrysanthemum motif is appropriate for autumn, particularly the month of October.
