NEW! Tsumami Kanzashi

Ajisai Tsumami Kanzashi

Sea-Green Tsumami Kanzashi

This tsumami hana is made with soft chirimen fabric in soft shades of blended green and turqouise. Subtle yet refreshing!

RM12 each

NOTE : These three designs are limited, especially the hydrangea kanzashi, which is not only time-consuming to make, but also take up quite a lot of fabric.

Ume Blossom with Leaves

A classic design that is modified with stamens and refreshing green leaves. Bright and cute, this tsumami kanzashi has a distinctive Japanese style! Made from soft chirimen fabric.

RM10 each

Previously featured Layered Ume Kanzashi is also available in limited quantity. The price has gone up because the prices of the chirimen fabric has also gone up... I hope you can understand!

NEW! Chirimen Kinchaku

These chirimen kinchaku are delicately handcrafted with love and care with the highest quality of chirimen fabric! Chirimen fabric shrinks when it comes in contact with water so the utmost care must be taken when using these kinchakus. The fabric has an uneven texture and gold embellishments. Golden bells are included.

Three chirimen fabrics are available for these chirimen kinchakus :

- Usagi and Sakura on PURPLE
- Layered Sakura Petals on PURPLE
- Manjuu Usagi and Sakura on PINK SOLD OUT

Base : Approximately 4.7in x 4.7in
Height : Approximately 5.5in

(Measurements may differ slightly on each bag because it's handmade therefore the measurements are not always the same. But I assure you the measurements match the numbers given above)

RM50 each (golden bells included)

USAGI AND SAKURA - PURPLE





Beautiful texture of the chirimen!



MANJUU USAGI AND SAKURA - PINK



Lovely texture of the fabric!



No pictures available for Layered Sakura Petals on PURPLE. The fabric has been shown previously in the tissue pouches :

NEW! Kawaii Tissue Pouches

^_^ I have added to the range of Japanese fabric products today! Below are some kawaii tissue pouches, 100% handmade from quality Japanese fabrics!

[IMAGE-HEAVY POST]


There are two types of tissue pouches :

- cotton pouches = RM10 each
- chirimen pouches = RM15 each

Please do keep in mind that CHIRIMEN SHRINK WHEN IN CONTACT WITH WATER, so if you get it wet I cannot guarantee you it will still be in good condition - so do be careful with it! That having been said, the texture is lovely and there are gold thread/lines on the chirimen fabric.

Layered Sakura - PURPLE (CHIRIMEN)



This beautiful chirimen tissue pouch is soft to the touch and have a touch of golden petals on it. The color might be a bit off, but it's purple, which blends into circles of white.

Usagi & Sakura - PURPLE (CHIRIMEN)



This is also chirimen like the pouch above, but the purple is a bit lighter. The color in this picture is kind of weird, sorry! But I can assure you it's purple, with lots of gold printing ^_^

Kimono Usagi - BEIGE (COTTON)



Little bunnies in kimono gowns on a traditional Japanese hexagon design with gold lines ^^

Jumping Usagi - RED (COTTON)) SOLD OUT



Typical Japanese-like pattern with cute jumping rabbits in white on a dark red cotton fabric.
