New Addition to Kanzashi-ya Wargo

Kanzashi-ya Wargo, a distinguished brand under the company Wagokoro based in Shibuya, Tokyo, has proudly unveiled a new antique-style hairpin starting January 9th. This creation, known as the "Crimson Lotus Rose Kanzashi," will be available in stores and through the online platform "The Ichi."

The brand embraces the vision of bringing Japanese culture to a global audience, offering a wide range of traditional items such as hairpins (kanzashi), umbrellas (wagasa), and chopsticks, alongside sauna and spa goods in locations across Japan.

The emerging design symbolizes a unique harmony between two contrasting motifs: the noble beauty of a rose and the fierce elegance of a weapon. Each piece is distinctly handcrafted, showcasing an intricate design that resonates with historical significance.

The kanzashi's robust brass shaft is not only visually striking but also practical, effectively gathering long hair with grace. Over time, with continual use, the brass develops a rich antique character, enhancing its beauty. The exquisite craftsmanship encapsulates both resilience and allure, adding a touch of refinement to summer yukata ensembles and everyday outfits alike.
