■Product Details

Product name: “The Tale of Genji - Hikaru Genji - Kanzashi” (1 piece type, U type)

The design is inspired by the beautiful “Sakuragasane” robe worn by Hikaru Genji.

The design is based on the image of the beautiful “Sakuragasane” robe worn by Hikaru Genji. A layer of bright red glass is placed under the shimmering silver and white translucent glass, and below that is glass in shades reminiscent of the hazy spring moon with a shimmer that imitates the light of the moon. From “Hana-en (Flower Party),” one of the most famous books in the story, this piece expresses Hikaru Genji's beautiful dance of cherry blossoms, his heart that recalls his unfulfilled love for his beloved, and a glamorous night with a princess like a phantom of the moon. The design gives a sense of the “heat” hidden deep in the heart of Hikaru Genji, in the moment when his robe softly shines in the wind and seems to have been captured.

What is Hikaru Genji?

Blessed with beautiful appearance and talent, Hikaru Genji was a man of color who had a long and colorful history of love affairs with women.

His father was the Emperor Kiritsubotei, and his mother was the Lady Kiritsubo-no-Koromo. From his early childhood, his beauty earned him the nickname “Hikaru-kun,” meaning “shining prince. He lost his mother, Sarai, at an early age, and while seeking her image, he fell in love with the palace of Fujitsubo, a copy of his mother in the imperial palace of his father.

Difference between Piari and earrings

Patented original earrings "Peari

The patented original earring "Peari

Patented original earrings “Piari”

”Piari” are smart, new earrings that look like pierced earrings and can be worn all day without pain, do not come off even when pulled, and can be enjoyed even if you do not have pierced holes. The 0.5mm special metal, which is hardly noticeable, does not constrict the ear and keeps the earring comfortable to wear, while the gentle fit of the high-quality urethane ensures that the earrings do not hurt and do not fall off.

High-quality urethane is used so that even those with allergies can wear them. The metal parts are plated with thick 24-karat gold plating for the gold color and allergy-resistant alloy plating for the silver color.

The metal is attached using a special clip so that the metal will not spread.
