Antique Kyoto Geisha Japanese Nihongami Comb & Kanzashi Hair Ornament Set: O

Antique Kanzashi Hair Ornament Set


This beautiful set came from the Gion Kobu Geisha District of Kyoto. The gold artwork is a lovely floral fan design. It contains a comb kanzashi and a stick kogai kanzashi. As the original label is still attached, we assume they have never been used and are in perfect condition. The silk case has discoloration from age and some moth damage to the red silk of the lid.


Only experts can accurately estimate the age or distinguish the exact materials used to make these Kanzashi however this one would probably be anywhere from 50-60 years old and seems to be made of a vintage type of celluloid that mimics bekko tortoise shell…


The photos are very detailed - please examine them carefully to determind the item's exact condition and it's value to you…


The Comb Measures:

10cm (4") in length

The Kougai Kanzashi measures:

17cm (6¾") in length and comes apart at the center.

IMPORTANT: 2020 PANDEMIC SHIPPING NOTE

Note that due to reduced flights, JAPAN POST has suspended Air Parcel service to the USA, Australia and a few other countries (Europe is not effected). It is not known how long this will last but in the meantime, we are using JAPAN POST SURFACE mail which has tracking and insurance but can take about 60 days to the USA.

Alternatively, for an additional charge, YAMATO INTERNATIONAL offers extremely fast door to door service for a flat-rate for their various size boxes. The smallest “60cm” box is $30 to most countries, can hold up to two kg and measures 27 X 19 X 19cm and arrives in about a week.

Note that as these measures are temporary, we can not change the existing rates for all of our hundreds of listings but will notify you immediately if it effects your purchase.
