Q: "What is 'Head Ornament'?"

It is too difficult to explain, and there is not proper category. Please watch it practically. There are sample images in the MAKISIMA web site. --- Well, is it too bad manner? Let's try explaining.

First of all, this Head Ornament is uniqe, because it is patent product. It has various design. I do not know the range of the patent, at least some part of it is patent.

You can wear like a hat or pin it on your hair. It may be a tiara made of fiber.

Its material is synthetic fiber. It is the fiber which is used for mannequin's wig or hollow-fiber. It is formed into three-dimensional, soft and beautiful shape, because it is made of fiber. It is used some bond to hold three-dimensional delicate form.

It is colorful, dark, or all sorts of color.

There are products for also men. My father sometimes wears.

Each one is handmade. Though some plans for the mass production sometimes occur, so far all Head Ornament is designed and made by my mother. No one is same. There are some series of similar form and same name, though.

When you wear Head Ornament?

As I watch my parents, They wear anytime, when they dress up a little or when they are on ceremonial occasions

They try creating ornament which can be worn on ceremonial accasions, when a hat is ill-matched or when the hair is thinning,

Although, people at larg wear Head Ornament on a wedding ceeremony or when you set your hair in a beauty salon.
