Autumn Maiko brooch

The classic silhouette of a maiko (geisha apprentice) walking down the streets of Kyoto with her long obi swinging with every step: this is the image of this brooch where I tried to put as many details as possible.

The autumn version of this brooch has a darari obi decorated with the “Momiji” pattern, the maple leaves that turn from green to yellow and red in the month of November. She is wearing a kimono made of real kimono silk and has embroidered accessories and wooden okobo.

I used different kinds of fabrics and materials to make the beauty of maiko traditional costume the better I could.

This brooch is made entirely by hand. It needs to be worn and handled with care.
