kanzashi is the traditional japanese craft of making intricate flowers or petal arrangements from fabric. the image above is one of the amazying pieces created by
atelier kanawa who is one of the few tsumami kanzashi artisans today. it's a hairpin called 'rain drops world,' which is quite appropriate for these days in japan, as we are waiting for rainy season to finish up this week maybe.

Hello - many thanks for mentioning my new book! I'm a huge fan of Kuniko's work. She is a phenomenally talented Kanzashi master.
