Each piece is handmade
Kanzashi shop Wargo's kanzashi are assembled one by one by hand. You can enjoy the charm that only handmade items can offer, including "silver kanzashi" made by skilled casting and polishing artisans, kanzashi made in collaboration with traditional artisans using Wajima lacquer, tortoiseshell, and tsumami zaiku, sparkling kanzashi that combine expressive beads, glass, and chains with modern brass shafts, and kanzashi with antique-style processing.
Uses rare parts that are not standard
The beads, glass, chains, glass beads and other parts used in Kanzashi are made with care to give them a warmth that comes from being handmade. These unique parts are not mass-produced according to standards, but are made from natural materials or produced by artisans, and most are in limited supply. Because they have unique, irregular shapes, each one reflects light differently, giving them a shine that is unique to handmade items. For this reason, different parts may be used depending on the time of production.
Stones and beads are made from natural materials
Kanzashi shop Wargo is also particular about using natural materials such as stone and coral. The holes, cracks, unevenness, and irregular shapes are also charms of natural materials. They are not mass-produced parts, but each one has a distinctly different look, as it is made of natural materials. Furthermore, by adding handwork such as painting and polishing to these materials, artisans create a one-of-a-kind Kanzashi that is just for you.
Hand-made antique finish
An antique look is part of the charm of accessories. Some Kanzashi Shop Wargo products are "antique-finished" to give them a worn, aged look. This antique look is achieved by applying a special chemical to the metal parts of the kanzashi and then polishing them. However, simply dipping them in the chemical will not naturally produce a worn color. The chemical is applied to each kanzashi by hand with a brush and then polished to create a natural unevenness and luster. This results in each kanzashi having a different color and atmosphere.
