An emblem of auspicious beauty, this traditional kanzashi set includes a double-pronged hairpin adorned with the classic shōchikubai (松竹梅) trio — pine, bamboo, and plum blossom — alongside a matching golden comb featuring a delicate temari motif. Together, these time-honored symbols represent steadfastness, perseverance, and quiet elegance. Unlike many plants, pine, bamboo, and plum do not wither as winter deepens — a trait that earned them the poetic name “The Three Friends of Winter” in Japanese and East Asian art and culture.
Crafted from high-quality resin and finished in glittering gold, these kanzashi are molded with care and hand-painted to bring out the graceful forms of the motif designs. The gold catches the light beautifully, adding a striking radiance to formal outfits and daywear alike.
Often worn during joyful occasions like seijin shiki (Coming of Age Day), New Year’s Day, and other festive events, this shimmering set blends tradition with modern glamour. The double prongs of the hairpin ensure a secure hold, while the comb balances the set with its refined silhouette; perfect for both traditional kimono and contemporary outfits.
