Kikyo has been part of Japanese summer-to-autumn imagery for over a thousand years — it appears in classical poetry, family crests, and medicinal texts. Its root, \u003cem\u003ekikyō-kon\u003c\/em\u003e, has been used in traditional medicine to soothe coughs and ease throat conditions; the flower itself reads cool and quiet against late-summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece sits on a sturdy plated-brass hair clip rather than a brooch back, so it can be worn in updos, half-ups, or pinning a side of a kimono collar.
