These are lovely, and exquisitely crafted, Japanese lacquer hairpins from the Meiji period. The lacquer work is superb.
One is lacquered to resemble bamboo, even showing the distinctive bamboo stalk divisions. The mother of pearl top has a lacquered leaf design on both sides, and is signed. The other hairpin has a bone or ivory top with some carving and shibiyama, or inlaid pieces. Tines are black lacquer with delicate flowers in three colors with gold lacquer centers. Workmanship on these hairpins equates that of the best inro or other Japanese decorative lacquered items. Condition: Tiny restoration on tip of one prong of the dark lacquer one. Size: 5 ¾ inches long.
