Sumika: Autumn Colours Floral Headpiece
Inspired by the Autumn colours, Sumika is a bold but feminine floral headpiece featuring a large orange Chrysanthemum and swing scarlet droplets, accompanied by an assortment of Asters and leaves. The flowers are made with the Tsumami-zaiku technique, and are embellished with millinery stamens. This piece is mounted onto a silver tone comb, which is best suited for full or semi up-dos. A wonderful complement for an outfit with a warm colour scheme. Perfect for a woodland theme wedding or a garden tea party.
The headpiece is made with lightweight habutae silk fabric. The fabric is carefully cut and intricately folded to create delicate details, which are then assembled into flowers and leaves to create the headpiece.
Please keep the piece dry. Do not wash. Remove dust with a clean brush.

About Tsumami-zaiku
Tsumami-zaiku is an artisan skill originated in the Japanese aristocracy, dating back to the late 18th century. Today, the craft is still used extensively to make exquisite floral headpieces for Maikos (apprentice Geishas). Tsumami-Zaiku is a delightful union of Japanese tradition, culture, and nature. We aim to bring this over two-century-old craft into modern fashion, so as to create distinctive, unique, and alternative headpieces.
