Traditionally worn by senior maiko during the month of March, the botan (peony) flower is loved and revered as the "king of flowers" for its rich and ornate beauty. In tsumami kanzashi, it is represented with multiple stacked layers of petals with carefully ruffled edges, finished with a fluffy center and light green leaves. Mounted on an alligator clip for easy wear, this piece measures approximately 2.5" in diameter.
