Hydrangea (Ajisai in Japanese) is the sign of the
rainy season in Japan. The flower is adored and
honoured by most of the Japanese like they do for
ume, sakura and irises. Hydrangea themed
accessories found in Japan are quite famous. It
appears as a popular decorative motif such as in
Kimono, woodblock prints, paintings, tableware,
jewellery, and other home décor accessories

Nowadays, kanzashi are most often worn by brides
by professional kimono wearers such
as geisha, tayu and yujo or by adepts
in Japanese tea ceremony and ikebana. However,
there is currently a revival among young Japanese
women who wish to add an elegant touch to
their business suit.
