Japanese Doll Kanzashi Now Available To Order!
To order, or if you have any questions, please email me - Dan@WideEyedGirls.com
Kanzashi (hair ornaments) as traditionally worn by brides, Geisha, Oiran & Maiko are nigh on impossible to find and purchase outside Japan, so I'm thrilled to be able to offer them to people who don't speak/write Japanese. Many of the kanzashi come in various sizes and so there's something for every size doll - Barbie, Super Dollfie, Tyler, Sydney, Fashion Royalty, Jenny, Licca, BJDs, Blythe etc.
Please note - Some of the pictures are from the supplier and are the best that I could get - my apologies. I will continually update the site with my own pictures as and when I receive items.With 16" Doll & Super Dollfie sized pieces, I'm assuming that oftentimes there are more flowers, or the "carving" is more intricate, rather than just being larger sizes, though I do not guarantee that until I see the items in person. All sizing is approximate (except when actual cm/mm measurements are given) and what may work to one person's eye may not work to another's, in as far as scale, thus they are only meant as guidelines.
Feb 2012 - I hope to be placing an order from the supplie this month, so will be stocked up once again. Please email me if there's anything in particular you're looking for.
Here's a couple of dolls I have created using these kanzashi, to give you an idea of how they look on an actual doll.
I can also make tsunami kanzashi myself, using silk habotai (china silk) and traditaional methods. If you are interested in commissioning custom work, please email me at the above address. Please bear in mind that it's a very labour intensive & fiddly process. Here are a couple of pictures
Bira Bira
These are the metal flutter dangles. The 3-dangle size is perfect for Barbie & Jenny, whilst the 5-dangle is a tad large, though it can work. 7, 10 & 15 dangles are availabvle & obviously suited for larger dolls such as Tonner & Duper Dollfie.

5 Dangles ('Dangle' length 2.1cm) - $3 each
7 Dangles ('Dangle' length 2.5cm) - $4 each

These are flower & butterfly shapes created with small squares of silk that are folded into 'petal' shapes. They come with a 'bira bira' flutter attached, but I have successfully removed that part.
