Kanzashi shop's "wargo"
Hello!
This is plat hostel keikyu asakusa karin!
Today,we are going to introduce a Kanzashi shop called "wargo" in Nakamise street, Asakusa.
※Kanzashi is a hair accessory used for women's traditional hairstyle.It just looks like a stick but women can hold up their long hair with it!! Also use it for decoration as fashion.
wargo is the only one shop in Japan which reborn the traditional and old Japanese decoration "kanzashi" to this modern time.
The shop is located nearby "Sensoji Temple" so there are many customers from overseas, and it always looks busy.
Lots of colorful and beautiful Kanzashi here!
One of a shop staff put it on my hair for trial.
Actually it was my first time to put kanzashi on, but It is firmly fixed though nothing is attached other than the Kanzashi. Once you know how to do it, You can do anything from going out to bathing with this one.
The staff showed us her arrangement. Customizing to your tastes is one of the ways to enjoy Kanzashi,she said. These are all similar colors and have a unified feeling. GREAT!
The staff at the shop are all very kind, and they will suggest Kanzashi that suits for the person so you don't have to be nervous even if that's your first time Kanzashi try!
Why don't you wear kimono and take a walk around Asakusa with a nice Kanzashi on?
