may_kanzashi

Both senior and junior maiko wear these dramatic wisteria kanzashi.

With the dynamic falls and silver butterflies these are some of the most exquisite maiko kanzashi.

May is full of purple. The blue flag iris and dangling wisteria are the colors of late Spring.

A popular motif amongst senior maiko the blue flag iris has clean lines and makes a sophisticated kanzashi. I love the dye work on these kanzashi! Mostly in purple, they do show up in white, and occasionally pink.
