March is the season of graduations in Japan.
Last week, I suddenly decided to make a hair accessory inspired by a flower called “Sankayo,” so I could wear it to a graduation ceremony.
I first learned about this flower when I visited Hakodate last year.
A monk at a temple kindly explained it to me, where it was being grown.
Sankayo, also known as the “skeleton flower” in English, is a very mystical flower—when it gets wet in the rain, its petals turn transparent.
I hope to see one in its clear, translucent state someday.
I used white and clear glass to capture the delicate beauty of Sankayo, paired with a gentle shade of green.
Of course, it’s not only for special occasions like graduations, but also for everyday wear.
Wearing a piece inspired by your favorite flower can bring a little brightness to your day.
I also welcome custom orders based on your favorite flowers.
