Kanzashi (簪?) are hair ornaments used in traditional Japanese hairstyles. Some (Who?) believe they may also have been used for defence in an emergency.'
In the English-speaking world, the term "kanzashi" is sometimes applied to the folded cloth flowers that traditionally adorned tsumami kanzashi, or to the technique used to make those flowers.
Tsumami kanzashi has been officially designated as a traditional Japanese handcraft in the Tokyo region since 1982.[1] Traditionally trained professional artisans typically undergo five to ten years of apprenticeship; from 2002 to 2010, their estimated number within the country decreased from fifteen to five.[2][3] However, the petal-folding technique has become a popular hobby, due to instructional books, kits, and lessons from sources such as the Tsumami Kanzashi Museum in Shinjuku. Some students have bypassed the traditional apprenticeship system to establish themselves as independent professional artisans of tsumami kanzashi within Japan.[4]
There are many varieties and many styles of wearing kanzashi. The way in which a geisha wears her kanzashi indicates her status immediately to an informed audience; according to the type and location of the kanzashi. Maiko (apprentice geisha) usually wear more numerous and elaborate kanzashi than older geisha and progress through several hairstyles where the kanzashi must be worn in a fixed pattern.

Cara Melipat Potongan kain :

Ternyata oh ternyata, saya memotong kainnya bulat. padahal yang diperlukan kain persegi.. Well, terlanjur ada, maka saya pakai juga. Caranya sama dengan urutan di atas. Hanya saja, setelah jadi satu kelopak, saya langsung menusuknya dengan jarum dan benang. kemudian lanjut melipat dan tusuk lagi. Hingga 11 atau 12 kelopak tersambung semua. Keuntungan dari potongan bulat adalah, tidak ada yang perlu dipotong lagi (seperti cara no. 9).
