Description

I saw this kanzashi only once this year, on maiko Katsuna during shigyoshiki (an event held every year in Gion Kobu on January 7th). 

It's a rather unusual combination of purple and pink Chinese asters with hagoita (game paddle which are now used as a lucky charm) and light green pine needles. 

I actually had lots of trouble getting the right shade of purple. At first I thought I got it right and after all I've decided it was too dark. The second take was better, but still not perfect. This was the closest I could get to that nice, pinkisn-blue hue in the original Kyoto shade.
