Chibi Sensu - January

January kanzashi are basically lucky charms, full of auspicious motifs to lure in luck for the coming year.

Fans are a symbol of prosperity, they symbolise widening of wealth. Gold colour is believed to attract wealth while red is considered to be lucky.

Motifs on fans also carry symbolic meaning: ume (plum blossoms) that are printed on a fan represent a new beginning. Bamboo is a symbol of strength, flexibility, and health

Each part of it is made by hand.

The main flower measure approx. 40mm. It is set on a silver-coloured double hairclip (brooch and hairclip).

~About my kanzashi~

Each kanzashi is made out of hand-folded petals, which are made from individual squares of high-quality fabrics. As with all items you see online, please be aware that due to your monitor settings colours may be displayed slightly differently.

~Care~

Kanzashi should be kept it out of sunlight and dust, preferably in a jewellery box (if you own more than one kanzashi it's good to add a lavender sachet to the box). I do my best to make Wisteria Garden's kanzashi durable, but as with any delicate material, care should be taken when handling and storing your piece.

~Shipping~
