This brooch pin was inspired by golden fall colors and multicolored kimono silk. It is made out of fine silk was  dyed golden yellow. The dyed silk is paired with a rainbow colored repurposed kimono silk. The brooch also features gold mizuhiki cord, black Swarovski pearl, and a bead cap.

The word “Hanami” is Japanese meaning to view (mi) flowers (hana). “Tsumami Kanzashi” is a Japanese art where hair decorations (kanzashi) are made by pinching (tsumami) pieces of silk to form a 3D shape. The artist  refers to it as origami for the hair and strives to make modern tsumami kanzashi in the old fashioned way.
