Antique Japanese Kushi & Kogai Hair Ornament Set — Raden Mother-of-Pearl & Gold Maki-e Lacquer, Flower-Shaped Presentation Box
A rare complete set of Japanese hair ornaments presented in its original flower-shaped presentation box, acquired from a private collection in Kyoto, Japan.
This exceptional set comprises three pieces unified by rich raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) and gold maki-e lacquerwork on a deep black ground:
Kushi (hair comb) — decorated with large sculptural raden leaves, gold maki-e cherry blossoms, and layered floral motifs. The combination of carved abalone shell and gold lacquer creates exceptional depth and iridescence.
Kogai (hair pin) — matching raden foliage with gold maki-e accent flowers and leaf motifs.
Kogai (hair pin) — raden chrysanthemum and leaf design on black lacquer ground.
Original flower-shaped fabric-covered presentation box with purple silk border lining. Box retains original maker's seal. Box shows age-appropriate wear; contents in good antique condition.
Dimensions: Kushi 9.5 cm (height), Kogai 16.5 cm (length), Presentation box 22 cm (diameter).
Acquired from a private collection in Kyoto, Japan. Consistent with Meiji—Taisho period production, circa 1900—1920.
Condition: Good condition with age-appropriate wear. Some raden loss to the lower right corner of the kushi. Both kogai intact. Presenting well overall as an antique display set.
Ships from Kyoto, Japan via EMS (Japan Post) or FedEx. Japan Rare Archive, Kyoto.
