kiku
the elegant chrysanthemum flower in its natural status
the elegant chrysanthemum flower in its natural status
An intricate brooch creation inspired by
the chrysanthemum motif
that has been a popular 'icon' with traditional Japanese kimonos, ceramics and other crafts.
The chrysanthemum flower motif has been used and recreated very vastly in various styles in traditional craft work.
For this work, we particularly wanted to re-create the flower in its true, natural form
as itself without any embellishments or minimalizing.
The process started off with the modelling of the form on a 3 dimensional software,
recreating the individual petals of the chrysanthemum mathematically on the software
yet making it look random and as close to nature as possible.
KIKU was created as a brooch.
But because of the many suggestions we have received from our dear customers
we came upon the idea to create a small detachable hair comb attachment
for this lovely item to also be enjoyed as a hair ornament!
the hair comb attachment is made in antique finished brass.
The comb attachment has two tiny rings on the top edge to which the brooch pin can be put through.
As and when you like, coordinating with the various style of outfit you are wearing,
you can now choose to wear KIKU as a brooch or as a hair ornament!
This item is also highly recommended for weddings to be worn with traditional ceremonial outfits.
This item comes in a Monocircus Gift box.
The item can be customized in your chosen color.
