Details Of Each Lesson
Lesson1
Ken Tsumami Dangiku Clip Brooch
In this lesson, we will make a flower called "dangiku" (chrysanthemum). It is one of the
a large and gorgeous flower, often used as the main flower for Kanzashi. We will be making ken tsumami on the base of the hemisphere from the center. Two colors of chirimen are used to create a design with some sense of movement.
Lesson2
Marugiku Comb
In this lesson, we will make a marugiku (round chrysanthemum) designed comb using Habutae. Habutae is a very thin silk, and it`s another Japanese traditional fabric the most popular fabric among craftsperson. Since it`s very delicate fabric, not so easy to use but you can make more small tsumami than chirimen. We will also learn hashi-kiri technique, the technique to lower the height of tsumami
Lesson3
Sandan Ume Kanzashi Comb
In this lesson, we will make an adult kanzashi using habutae and chirimen. The main flower will be a design of three overlapping maru tsumami called "Sandan ume". You will learn the technique of using a large base to make the flowers look larger. You will also learn how to make double-layered maru tsumami.
Lesson4
Assembling The Sandan Ume
Kanzashi Comb
In this lesson, we will assemble the ochirin and make it into a kanzashi for adults using a comb. We will also make a sagari design, called "hana-sagari," which means a sagari with a flower attached. Sagari will not be attached to the comb, but instead will be made separately using U-shaped hairpin. This kind of shape can be used for modern hairstyles and goes well with clothes.

◆From the USA
This middle course introduces how to use different bases, such as half rounds, to make beautiful multi-dimensional tsumami kanzashi.
Everything is explained step-by-step in an easy to follow manner.
This course also introduces how to work with habutae silk. This is a more challenging technique to master but it produces exquisite kanzashi and I was so excited to learn it.
Once again the technique is explained thoroughly and tips are provided to make your learning experience easier.
I love how I was provided with all the necessary materials for the class as some were more difficult to find.
