Our Sakura Dance troupe learned to create hair decorations to wear when dancing in kimono using this book. Silk and obi textiles create lovely hair jewelry. This techniqe is an extension of origami, using fabric foldling. DVDs on Japanese culture with subtitles especially see the Special Features: Departures, Shogun (5 Disc TV series), Last Samurai, Memoirs of Geisha. Chinese DVDs with hair jewelry: Raise the Red Lantern, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers. Highly recommended if you enjoy learning how to make your own decorations

I actually just started getting into Kanzashi and was at first looking for Japanese books. To my dismay, there is no such thing, as it is difficult to find such books here in the US. I first brought the book from *** to take a look inside of it, and I fell in love with it..
