■Product Details

Product name: "The Tale of Genji - Murasaki Shikibu - Kanzashi" (1 piece type, U type)

This kanzashi is designed in the image of "Murasaki Shikibu," the scholarly, intelligent, and modest author of "The Tale of Genji. The intricately shining purple-based glass and the flowers blooming as if hidden express her innermost thoughts. The chain, inspired by the image of night dew, represents the glamour of the story and her feelings when she was writing it.

≪What is Murasaki Shikibu?≫

Murasaki Shikibu was born into a family of first-rate writers. She read Chinese books, played stringed instruments, and was a renowned poet, and was so talented that her father, Fujiwara no Tametoki, regretted that she had been a man. After the death of her husband, Nobutaka Fujiwara, she spent 10 years writing "The Tale of Genji" in kana syllabary, which became popular among women and the general public and was instantly popularized as national literature.

Difference between Piari and earrings

Patented original earrings "Peari

The patented original earring "Peari

Piari" are smart, new earrings that look like pierced earrings and can be worn all day without pain, do not come off even when pulled, and can be enjoyed even without pierced holes. The 0.5mm special metal, which is hardly noticeable, does not constrict the ear and keeps the earring comfortable to wear, while the gentle fit of the high-quality urethane ensures that the earrings do not hurt and do not fall off.

High-quality urethane is used so that even those with allergies can wear them. The metal parts are plated with thick 24-karat gold plating for the gold color and allergy-resistant alloy plating for the silver color.

The metal is attached using a special clip so that the metal will not spread.
