About the Item
19th Century Japanese Makie Kushi and Kanzashi Hair Ornament Set
A fine 19th-century Japanese kushi (comb) and kanzashi (hairpin) set, crafted in tortoiseshell or similar material and decorated in the makie technique with gilt lacquer. The kushi features a gently arched form with intricately applied gold foliage and floral motifs. The kanzashi is delicately shaped, with gilt decoration echoing the comb’s design, and includes a split shank and scooped end typical of traditional Japanese hair ornaments of the Edo to Meiji periods.
Elegant and understated, these pieces were typically worn together as part of formal nihongami hairstyles and represent the high level of craftsmanship in Japanese lacquer work of the era.
