Wagokoro Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Tomohiro Mori; TSE Growth: 9271), which operates multiple stores across Japan specializing in Japanese-style accessories such as kanzashi hairpins, wagasa and Japanese-pattern umbrellas, chopsticks, as well as sauna and spa goods, announced that it will begin selling its new “Hakuyuka Ippon Kanzashi” from Friday, May 15, at its directly operated “Kanzashiya wargo” stores and on its e-commerce site “The Ichi.” The “Hakuyuka Ippon Kanzashi” combines the shimmer of gold leaf with a contemporary silhouette. Delicate golden glints are sealed inside translucent petals, while the brass hoop expresses a sense of splendor and harmonious connection. Although modern in silhouette, the design carries a subtle Japanese elegance, bringing together contemporary style and tradition. The main floral part is lavishly decorated with gold leaf, and by pairing it with an intentionally non-perfect circular hoop, the piece achieves a light, modern look not found in existing products. Because resin is used as the material, the hairpin is lightweight and comfortable even for long wear. It can be used widely, from everyday styling to dressing up for special occasions. Its clarity, reminiscent of light reflecting on the water’s surface, makes it especially suited to the coming season. The lineup includes Hakuyuka Ippon Kanzashi - Usukurenai, Hakuyuka Ippon Kanzashi - Usu Asagi, and Hakuyuka Ippon Kanzashi - Geppaku. Product overview: Price: 4,290 yen including tax. Approximate size: shaft 12 cm; motif/drop length 10.2 cm, width 2.5 cm. Materials: resin parts, brass, chain, and gold leaf. “Kanzashiya wargo” is one of Japan’s leading handmade kanzashi specialty stores, offering kanzashi that fuse traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern design. By handling every step in-house, from planning, design, and production to store creation, web design, and sales, the brand practices direct manufacturer sales with pride in craftsmanship. Wa
