A simple and minimalist design that intentionally eliminates decoration. We focused on the original “shape” and “color” of kanzashi, and tried to express the Japanese emotion. The simple appearance is a great supporting role that complements your facial features and outfit. The unisex design blends naturally with not only Japanese clothing but also Western clothing and casual wear. * By omitting decorations, you can stack not only one but multiple pieces, allowing for more free self-expression. ■ “Ultimate beauty” created by metal processing technology Each piece is a high-quality product carved from aluminum and anodized, making it extremely light and durable. It is
characterized by a smooth texture and elegant shine that cannot be found in mass-produced products. The entire body is composed of curved lines, and it is a masterpiece that is packed with Uchiyama Iron Works’ technology and aesthetic sense, such as a shine like gold dust and a texture like silk. Its appearance gives a sense of “Japanese” at a glance, enhances the mood of the wearer, and attracts the eyes and hearts of the beholder.
