Description
The center piece (katsuyama kanzashi) maiko wear in May is often the beautiful wisteria (fuji 藤）. I made this hair pin from scratch for a custom order for a maiko henshin (cosplay) for a lovely customer.You can see the matching sagari kanzashi , and the two pieces together here:
This was my first time making a wisteria bridge! It's quite difficult, but fun. I hope I can get a chance to make a second one.
Similar to my other wisteria:
Thoughts?

I wanted to go see them so badly when I saw all the pics from Japan this year.>< We had Wysteria at my school so I remember the smell all too well.

Thank you! It was a fun experiment, seeing how small/big to make the individual strands. it took a long time, but I'm glad the result is worth it.

It looks so complex and time consuming.... I can see where it would really take a long time to make! But it looks so beautiful

I'm glad it looks nice though. I think I wouldn't mind making it again. I bet I could streamline the process and take less time. @.@ And perhaps get feedback from my customer on the size.

Wow, that is a long time to be folding and glueing silk!
Yeah usually making things for a second time takes les time than it did the first go around, because you have that muscle memory and experience working in your favor. A handmade maiko wig? Dang, hat's some serious dedication!

Haha, actually only half that time is folding/gluing. The other half is wiring, stringing, etc.
Yep, she is seriously dedicated.
