桜 - SAKURA KANZASHI 

桜 - This is the Japanese character for sakura. The 木 (ki) on the left side means tree/wood and developed from a pictogram of a tree, with the horizontal line as branches and diagonal lines as roots. Sakura is derived from saku 咲, which means to bloom, or alternately to smile/laugh. The 口 in 咲 indicates an open mouth.

Here is some tips for how to use Kanzashi (Japanese hair stick) for beautiful and elegant hairstyle:

Ephemeral nature of life and Sakura blossoms

Hi, Maho beauty friends! The cherry blossom, or Sakura is Japan's unofficial national flower and there are many dozens of different cherry tree varieties in Japan. Sakura blossoms symbolize clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life. The life of Sakura is very short - they only remain for a week. Yet they are so amazingly beautiful! heart emoticon Have you ever seen the cherry blossoms in Japan?
Here is playful yet elegant Japanese kanzashi with Sakura. Please click the URL for details: http://www.mahobeauty.com/index.php…
Japoniška vyšnia sakura laikoma neaoficialiu Japonijos simboliniu medžiu ir gerbiama kaip nacionalinis reliktas. Japonijoje vyšnių žydėjimas yra atrakcija, pritraukianti minias vietos gyventojų ir turistų.

Kanzashi are ornamental hairpins or combs that have been used for traditional Japanese hairstyle. Originally, kanzashi were considered as charms.
It was believed that magical power was in the stick of the kanzashi and it could fend off evil spirits when it was put close to the head, which is the most important part of human's body. http://www.mahobeauty.com/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&product_id=250

Another theory says that kanzashi were used as weapons of self-defence. However, kanzashi came to be used as hairpins to put hair together with the growing aesthetic sense of women.
It is said that the change of kanzashi made more variations of women's hairdos.

When we see kanzashi today, there are a wide range of materials, shapes, and designs. People enjoy kanzashi with western style clothes or gowns and it looks very elegant and natural.

Kanzashi attract many women not only in Japan but also in other countries now.

Oiran


Oiran 花魁 - Japanese courtesans back in 17th and 18th century. There're no more Oiran in modern times but there're few Matsuri (festival) parading wearing Oiran costume. 

Oiran or Japan’s highest ranking courtesans were the grandest and most spectacular women of the “floating world”. Found on tokyopic.com

No rules, no limitations, no boundaries, it's like an art - hairstyle of oiran. What do you think about hairstyle like this? 
Found on japanlove.tumblr.com

Oiran, known for their beauty, artistry and intelligence, dictated the fashions of the day and influenced many artists, poets and musicians. Found on stat.ameba.jp

The word oiran means “first flower” which poetically indicates their exalted status in society.
Another Oiran style hairstyle 
Found on oocamera.exblog.jp

An oiran’s costume consists of many layers of thick padded kimonos along with a large ornate brocade obi tied in the front as was required in her profession. (Kimonos traditionally are tied in the back).

Oiran wearing koma geta.

Oiran are part of Japan’s cultural legacy and the famous oiran parade called the “oiran-dochu” is still re-enacted in Japan today.
