What first come to mind when we think of Autumn? Of course, the beautiful red, orange and yellow colors of the leaves. In Japan, momijigari or autumn leaves viewing(we can also say hunting) takes place from around middle October to the beginning of December. In Kyoto, the leaves turn red and yellow around November so no wonder that the seasonal kanzashi worn by Kyoto maiko during this month would reflect the "autumning" nature.
 Some would wear yellow momiji with tiny red, some would enjoy wearing yellow leaves with green edges - no matter what are your tastes, for November Kisetsu shop offer 6! different styles of Momiji Kanzashi for those who would like to reflect the beautiful Japanese autumn. It consists of 3 pieces - Hana Kanzashi (the 3 momiji leaves at the front), small kanzashi and flower bridge. You can wear it with kimono or as a simple hair decoration - it will not loose its Autumn charm!
