This hat provides a modern take on the traditional hair ornament. It is hand dyed deadstock cotton with organic indigo powder and is zero waste by design. The wooden beads have been sourced from a certified ethical origin, using wood from naturally fallen branches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe important measurement for the Kanzashi Hat is your head circumference at the point\/ angle a hat sits. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eS\/M: 54-56cm.

For women, part of this ceremony is to dress in a Furisode style Kimono with traditional hair accessories (kanzashi). When I celebrated my seijinshiki, I was given a box of traditional hair ornaments (kanzashi) to choose from, one being a tsumami hana kanzashi (pinched flower hair ornament). I admired this kanzashi's beauty as an accessory and as a representation of my culture. I would have liked to continue wearing it, however, could not see it fitting in with my current style\/ wardrobe. This sparked the recreation of this hair ornament in a modern context. It prompts conversation about the evolving nature of cultural design and tradition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTsumami Kanzashi (簪) flowers are traditionally made with silk and starch\/ rice glue on a base. Traditionally, they are worn with consideration of the motifs that reflect the current season. In my interpretation, I have created a simple and seasonless 5 petal tsumami hana as the base flower. To accommodate the practical needs of a hat (i.e. flexibility, durability and comfort), the flowers are not constructed using the traditional method but rather sewing with thread.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Child of Society","offers":[{"title":"Indigo Powder","offer_id":43496448950423,"sku":"","price":330.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Avocado Pip Pink","offer_id":43496448983191,"sku":"","price":330.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/5613\/3511\/files\/FullSizeRender-3.jpg?v=1772672415","url":"https:\/\/thesocialstudio.org\/products\/kanzashi-hat","provider":"The Social Studio ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
