Elegant Japanese period set昭和 ( Shōwa ) consisting of a traditional comb櫛 (Kushi) and a matching round hairpin簪 (Kanzashi) , made of bright red lacquered wood (urushi-nuri 漆塗り) and hand-decorated with gilt maki-e 蒔絵patterns.
The comb features a rich composition evoking classical elegance:菊 (kiku) – the imperial chrysanthemum, symbol of longevity –,梅 (ume) – the plum blossom heralding spring –, and a御所車 (gosho-guruma) , a ceremonial chariot used at the imperial court.
The maru-gata (round) pin is decorated with a large orange, gold and green kiku , enhanced with finely painted foliage.
On the reverse, a delicate motif of竹 (take) , bamboo, a symbol of strength and flexibility, discreetly completes the ensemble.
Features :
📅 Period : Shōwa ( 1926–1989) – estimated 1950s–70s
🧵 Material : Red lacquered wood ( urushi )
🎨 Reasons :
• (kiku) – Chrysanthemum, imperial emblem
• (ume) – Plum blossom, renewal
•御所車 (gosho-guruma) – Noble ceremonial chariot
• (take) – Bamboo, strength and luck
📏 Dimensions :
• Kushi comb: 9.5 × 5 cm
• Kanzashi: diameter 3.5 cm – length 10 cm
📸 Condition : Vintage, good overall condition. Note: a small snag on the tip of the pin head (round) has removed 4mm of lacquer (visible in the last photo). Does not detract from the overall charm of this set.
🦝 Our opinion:
At KOGEDO , we particularly love this set for its balance between brilliance and restraint. The traditional floral decorations, combined with the glossy red lacquer, make it a jewel in its own right. A refined piece, to collect, display, or wear with a vintage haori —or a contemporary creation from Atelier Kogedo.
Perfect MIX & MATCH with our Akane Tsuru haori by KOGEDO l'Atelier
