Bad photo day, but an extremely good kanzashi day! Combs are here and more like this are coming :) I just love Polish flowers like poppies and cornflowers as tsumami zaiku. Are there any you like it would love to see as kanzashi ? #tsumamikanzashi #poppy #kanzahi #pieceofjapan (w: Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVpyp_ysFNU/?utm_medium=tumblr

This leaf from a tree in the East,  Has been given to my garden.  It reveals a certain secret,  Which pleases me and thoughtful people. (...) There is no more poetic way to describe the ginkgo tree. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe used his words carefully when writing this poem in 1815. And no surprise: the ginkgo is one of the most singular trees. To start with, it is, in simplest of terms, a living fossil. It has no living relatives and has experienced very little change for millions of years. The ginkgo's distinctive fan-shaped leaf has always carried symbolism. Because of it's split leaves it is associated with duality. This concept recognizes the feminine and masculine aspects of all living things, so it embodies the idea of yin and yang. The singularly beautiful ginkgo has been a symbol of longevity (the tree can live for a thousand years) and of a more profound endurance and hope. One of the ginkgo trees that survived the explosion of the Hiroshima atomic bomb still stands today. It grows near the centre of the blast, in an area now known as the Park of Peace. Dubbed the "bearer of hope," the tree has prayed for peace engraved in the bark. #pieceofjapan #ginkgo #kanzashi #tsumamizaiku (w: Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFRd-nNggtQ/?igshid=zdfwfttlvajw

You've seen it coming! The new seasonal clips,  which in two different versions, are inspired by January maiko kanzashi. One classic red, with a golden swirl in the middle and a hagoita (lucky game paddles used to drive away evil spirits) and one pink with a fluffy silk centre and sensu fans, which by unfolding shelter you from bad luck. What do you think of this new pink version? 🙂 #wisteriagardens #pieceofjapan #kisetsubana (w: Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDLy-N5A9Un/?igshid=1w3h77gln1olm

This seemingly simple pieace has been on my mind for some time. Made from traidional habotai fabric, it is a classic in red and white, with a small addition of green and gold.

While we are used to kiku (chrysanthemum) kanzashi made of many pointed petals there are surely many other varieties. Round petal pompom mums, spider chrysanthemums made of wire nd many more. This one is made of thin sparkly thread-covered wire. One of the lesser-known types of mum, it always is a treat to look at! #wisteriagardens #pieceofjapan (w: Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAn0nxZgSRx/?igshid=ii2saavbg3sy

Pine needles. In Japanese culture, the pine tree is known to represent longevity, good fortune and steadfastness. It is commonly linked with virtue and long life, even immortality. The pine tree is iconic of the Japanese New Year, as a symbol of rebirth, renewal, and a bright (hopeful) future. #wisteriagardens #pieceofjapan #kanzashi (w: Warsaw, Poland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8rW2WwAwfd/?igshid=n28wzblc3elw
