Autumn Charms for Your Own Glass Kanzashi

A kanzashi hairpin is often thought of as a summer thing — slipped into an updo to match a yukata. It is a cool, seasonal image, and a lovely one.

But summer is not the only time to wear one.

Kanzashi suit autumn and winter hairstyles just as well. Gather your hair loosely, slide one in, and an everyday style turns quietly elegant. Even against a heavy knit or a winter coat, the glass catching the light near your ear adds a small point of color.

This season, limited-edition autumn charms have arrived — parts in the colors of the harvest.

At Taisho Glass you choose the parts yourself and build a kanzashi that is yours alone. Pick a base, pick the charms, decide how they hang. That time spent choosing becomes part of the memory of Otaru.

Autumn charms are available in limited numbers. If a color catches your eye, do pick it up while it is there.

One favorite kanzashi, for your autumn outings.
