that goes back over 280 years as a means of warding off epidemics,
photographs Asobixotome, the letting off of fireworks, whilst many displays are just huge, there is an unspoken rule among smaller gatherings, fireworks should
always end with senko hanabi, literally meaning ‘incense fireworks,’ these
small and subtle sparklers are packed with about 10 seconds of delicate
pyrotechnics,
with this in mind an
accessory maker that specializes in creating playful acrylic accessories
decided to make two styles of earrings in the form of delicate firework burst, senko hanabi earrings are handmade by asobi x otome,
to compliment the earrings a traditional headpiece worn with yukata or kimono has been made, known as a kanzashi,
the pieces range between 2,500 -- 4,500 yen and are
made-to-order at today’s rate £13.62 or $17.31 -- £24.52 or $31.15, now the bad
news, the downside, they are unfortunately only available in Japan but you can
also enjoy their work through Twitter or Instagram, I
guess if you want to have these earrings you might need a friend in japan to
send them to you, the upside, outside of Japan I doubt if anyone else on your street
will be wearing them!
