Japonism Hair Pins

  • Completed Project: Japonism Hair Pins Picture #1

Don't you just LOVE the beautiful kimonos that the geisha & maiko wear?

Don't you just LOVE the beautiful kimonos that the geisha & maiko wear? But real kimonos easily cost more than US$ 10,000!

Now, how about wearing a miniature kimono and complete the look with a pair of zori (Japanese flip flops), for only a few dollars?

I handmade the "kimono" and "zori" out of beautiful gold filled Japanese paper called "yuzen chiyogami", see how shiny they are? The paper is sealed with a high quality varnish for durability and will last for many years with general care and handling.

Measurement:

Kimono - 32 x 30 mm
Zori - 22 x 12 mm each foot
Silver Plated Bobby Pins - 65 mm
