These transparent ornament hairpins, which Sakae makes, have a beauty that catches your breath.

Sakae started to make Kanzashi (Japanese Hair Pins) about 7 years ago.  She was inspired when she saw a girl dressed in a gorgeous long-sleeve kimono.  Sakae thought to herself “If her hair had a transparent butterfly decoration, her look would be perfect…. Why has she not put one on?”  Then, she began to look for a butterfly hair pins at stores.
