{"product_id":"kanzashi","title":"Kanzashi","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWooden hair stick with a carved flower, gold leaves and a tassel of beads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dark stick with a flower at the top and beads that swing. This kanzashi is a single hair stick in a dark polished wood, tapering to a point, with a small flower at the head in a coloured stone-look resin, a spray of gold metal leaves behind it, and a short tassel of beads on a cord that hangs from the flower and moves when the head does. It comes in five versions: a purple flower with purple beads, a pale green flower with green and gold, a white flower with amber, a jade disc with pale green drops, and a white and yellow flower with amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the simplest of the hair ornaments in the collection to wear and the one with the most movement, and the tassel is what people notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, kanzashi, is the Japanese word for a hair ornament, any of them, and the stick is the oldest kind: a single pin that holds a knot of hair by passing through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stick is a dark hardwood, turned and polished, about the length of a hand, with the flower and leaves set into the head and the tassel on a cord through it. The flower is a stone-look resin carved with petals, and the beads are glass and resin in the matching colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it through a bun or a twist: gather the hair, twist it up, and push the stick through from one side, catching hair on the way, and it holds. It takes a few tries the first time and then it is faster than a clip. With a kimono or a yukata it is the correct thing; with a plain dress it is the interesting thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe five versions are five stones: purple, pale green, white, jade and amber, each with its own beads, and the gold leaves are the same on all. The photographs show all five.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tassel is the detail: three or four beads on a cord that hang below the flower and swing, so the ornament is never quite still, and the gold leaves behind the flower catch the light when it moves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a room it is a dark stick in a bun with a flash of colour. From close the flower shows its carving, the leaves their gold, and the beads their swing. It is the hair stick for a person who wears their hair up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe with a dry cloth; keep the resin flower out of perfume and hairspray, which dull it. Store it flat so the tassel does not tangle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne size. The stick is about the length of a hand and holds hair of shoulder length or longer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"1","offer_id":59207742194012,"sku":"200000226:29#style 1","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2","offer_id":59207742226780,"sku":"200000226:193#style 2","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3","offer_id":59207742259548,"sku":"200000226:175#style 3","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4","offer_id":59207742292316,"sku":"200000226:1063#style 4","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5","offer_id":59207742325084,"sku":"200000226:1202#style 5","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/kanzashi-1.jpg?v=1790585463","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/kanzashi","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
