Tsumami Kanzashi on display and a memorable keepsake for all visitors to the museum
I decided to visit Tsumami-Kanzashi Museum, which showcases the Ishida family’s work of art - traditional Japanese hair ornaments. The hair clips are not on sale here but are available in the Kimono section of major departmental stores around Japan Why not bring home a delicate handcrafted piece to admire for a lifetime and even pass it on to the next generation. This is in-line with the Japanese tradition.
* Tsumami – A craft of pinching small square pieces of cloth to form eye catching designs like those pictured above. (extracted from Tsumami Kanzashi Museum Pamphlet)
Directions: Tsumami-Kanzashi Museumつまみかんざし at JR Takadanobaba Station. It is 10 mins walk from Toyama Exit and on the 4th floor of Takadanobaba Building.
Opening Hours: 10.00AM – 5.00PM

* The museum consists of a shelf with some Tsumami-Kanzashi on display. Most people visit the museum to find out more about this craft from a Tsumami Kanzashi master whose workshop is there. He speaks only Japanese, therefore do bring a Japanese speaking friend along if you are not fluent in the language.
