The Amazing Evolved "Tsuno Kakushi" Combining Washi and Flowers Found on Instagram!

Traditional Tsunokakushi Style of Japanese Weddings＊

In Japanese weddings, the bride wears a tsunokakushi on her head, along with a shiromuku (pure white kimono) or a color uchikake.

Tsunokakushi is a white cloth that is worn to cover the elaborate bun hairstyle known as bunkin takashimada.

The accessory typically consists of a tortoiseshell kanzashi.

It symbolizes "hiding the horns that represent anger and obeying the husband" and expresses the desire to be "a graceful wife."＊

The material of the tsunokakushi is usually made of white silk (undyed, plain silk fabric)...

However, I discovered a stylish and evolved version of tsunokakushi made from a slightly unusual material＊

Amazing Tsunokakushi Made from Washi and Flowers!

Here it is.

It is a tsunokakushi made from “washi” (Japanese paper) and “flowers.” The name is simply Washi Tsunokakushi＊

The unique texture of washi, with its uneven surface and visible fibers, creates a somewhat mysterious atmosphere.

Yet, with this new concept, it looks very fashionable＊

Instead of kanzashi, flowers are adorned in the hair, adding a vibrant touch♩

This washi tsunokakushi was created by Makiko Kadota from VAMP Hair & Makeup.

It was showcased at a mock wedding ceremony during a Wedding Expo event held in 2018.

The traditional wedding ceremony was conducted in a chapel style.

They incorporated fresh flowers to bring in a Western atmosphere and used washi to convey elegance and nobility (luxury and sophistication).

It’s an incredible idea, isn’t it?♩

Focus on Washi Tsunokakushi＊

The “Washi Tsunokakushi” style beautifully wraps the hair with washi paper＊

The delicacy, transience, and luxury unique to washi make it perfect for the bride's traditional outfits, such as shiromuku and color uchikake.

Brides contemplating the idea of wearing a tsunokakushi for pre-wedding photoshoots or traditional ceremonies might want to consider the washi tsunokakushi as an option＊
