About LongLocks GeishaStix Hair Pins
Both my husband and I are captivated by all aspects of Asian culture. I collect Asian hair ornaments, including Chinese and Japanese hair pins, and we are both serious collectors of vintage Japanese kimono, mainly the more spectacular designs such as uchikake (elaborate wedding kimono) and furisode (formal kimono worn by young Japanese women and maiko), which we display throughout our home as beautiful textile art. The history of geisha, which contrary to popular belief were never courtesans, is a long and fascinating one. Still to this day the few remaining women in Japanese society who practice this beautiful but dying art wear only the absolute finest and most elegant kimono, accessories and hair ornaments. |
The hair accessories in the LongLocks GeishaStix line are inspired by the fabulous hair ornaments worn by Japanese geisha and maiko (apprentice geisha) throughout history. These ornate hair pins can be worn alone or in combination with other hair accessories in the more traditional Asian style. LongLocks GeishaStix hair ornaments are perfect for creating elegant updos for Prom, romantic hairstyles for weddings, or any special occasion for which you'd really like to sparkle. These hair pins are also great for anime fans or cosplayers looking for fabulous pieces to add to their elaborate Asian-inspired costumes! Each hand crafted LongLocks GeishaStix hair stick design is one-of-a-kind and never duplicated. These original hand crafted hair accessories and the process by which they are created are a LongLocks HairSticks® exclusive and can be found nowhere else. LongLocks GeishaStix can be custom ordered in the LongLocks GlimmerStix, BijouStix, FantasyStix, HoloStix, MineraliStix, MajeStix, GlitterStix, RomanzaStix, DecoStix, SynergiStix, LuminiStix and RapunzelStix styles.
