[Limited quantity] Cohana, Glass-headed Sewing Pins in layered Indigo Tones

This set features three small, distinctively styled sewing pins.
Each pin incorporates a small glass element that captures a wide spectrum of blue—from pale, clear hues to deep, rich indigo.
No two pins are alike; each possesses its own unique charm, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
*Due to the manufacturing process, which involves fusing the glass using a high-temperature flame, a small black mark may appear at the point where the glass meets the pin.
Please rest assured that this does not affect the quality of the product.

[The "Japanese Blue, Material Blue" Series]
"Japanese Blue" has long been deeply woven into the fabric of daily life—from kimonos, *noren* (traditional fabric dividers), and household tools to spaces dedicated to prayer.
Evoking a sense of freshness and tranquility, this shade of blue brings a composed clarity to the mind. It has been cherished throughout history not merely as a functional color, but as an essential hue that helps foster a pleasant and harmonious everyday life.

Internationally, this shade is known as "Japan Blue."
The term originated during the Meiji era, when Robert William Atkinson, a British chemist visiting Japan, was so struck by the sight of Japanese townscapes adorned with indigo-dyed kimonos and *noren* that he coined the name.

The "Japanese Blue, Material Blue" series brings together the craftsmanship and materials from various production regions across Japan, allowing you to experience the depth and power of a "blue" that remains beloved through every season.
