Kanzashi came into wider use during the Edo period, when hairstyles became larger and more complicated, using a larger number of ornaments. Artisans began to produce more finely crafted products, including some hair ornaments that could be used as defensive weapons.  During the latter part of the Edo period, the craftsmanship of kanzashi is considered to have reached a high point, with a number of styles and designs created, many of which persist to the modern day.

Kanzashi are fabricated from a wide range of materials, such as lacquered wood, gold and silver plated metal, tortoiseshell, silk, and recently, plastic. Early plastic kanzashi made out of materials such as bakelite are considered to be highly valued as collectables.

Tsumami kanzashi – literally meaning "pinched kanzashi" – are traditional kanzashi made of squares of dyed or printed silk, folded into a number of shapes to represent flowers, plants and animals.

Hana kanzashi are usually made from a cluster of tsumami kanzashi flowers, and may include bira-bira-style strips of metal or long streamers of petals dangling from the main kanzashi piece. Maiko are well-known for wearing hana kanzashi that are typically larger than average.

Ihe osise tsumami kanzashi 
Hana kanzashi are highly seasonal, though typically the only people in Japan who follow the seasons closely enough to register seasonal changes are geisha and their apprentices. Since maiko wear more elaborate kanzashi than their senior geisha, seasonal changes are even more important for them.

 January – The design of January  usually has an auspicious New Years' theme.  is a popular choice – a combination of pine (), bamboo () and plum blossoms () in green, red and white. Other popular motifs are sparrows (), spinning tops and battledore paddles ().
 February – Usually trailing deep pink or red plum blossoms, said to symbolise young love and the approach of spring. Another less common theme is the pinwheel and the flowerball () that is worn for Setsubun.
 March – Trailing yellow and white rapeseed flowers () and butterflies, as well as peach blossoms (), narcissus (), camellia () and peonies (). A rare  featuring dolls that are used to celebrate the  (Girl's Day Festival) can also be seen during this month.
 April – Trailing soft pink cherry blossoma () mixed with butterflies and  lanterns, signalling the approach of summer. Cherry blossom viewing at this time of year is a major cultural event in Japan.  consisting of a single silver (or sometimes gold) butterfly () made of  cord are common.
 May – Trailing purple wisteria () and flag irises (), usually in blue or pink. Irises denote the height of spring while wisteria is a flower often associated with the Imperial Court (wisteria viewing parties have been celebrated by Japanese nobles since the Heian period).
 June – Trailing green willow () leaves with carnations/pinks (), or less commonly hydrangea () flowers. This month is the rainy season in Japan, and therefore willow (a water-loving tree) and blue hydrangeas are appropriate.
 July –  featuring a display of fans (usually round  fans, but occasionally folding  fans) are featured. The fans refer to the Gion Festival which takes place at this time. The motifs featured on a 's fan  vary each year, in line with the festival. There are common themes such as dragonflies and lines denoting swirling water. Other  worn during July are fireworks  and dewdrops on grass ().
 August – Large morning glory () or  grass. The  grass appears as a starburst of spines made of silvered paper. Senior  wear white-backed silver petals and junior  wear pink-backed silver petals.
 September – Japanese bellflower (). The purple tones are traditionally associated with autumn. Often these will be mixed with bush clover.
 October – Chrysanthemum (). These are well loved in Japan and are a symbol of the Imperial Family. Senior  will wear one large flower while junior  will wear a cluster of small flowers. Typical colours include pink, white, red, yellow, and purple.
 November – Trailing autumnal leaves that are usually composed of the very popular Japanese maple. Maple viewing is the autumnal equivalent of cherry blossom viewing in Japan. Ginkgo and liquidambar leaves are also seen.
 December – The Japanese make  at this time of year, and often decorate trees with them to represent white flowers. It is thought to be good luck to wear  featuring , or rice-cake flowers. December  also feature two , name plates used by kabuki actors, which are initially blank. Traditionally,  visit the Minamiza Theatre and ask two of their favourite kabuki actors to autograph them with their kabuki nom de plume.  for senior  feature green bamboo leaves while junior  have a colourful assortment of lucky charms.
 New Year – At this time of year all  and geisha wear un-husked ears of rice in their hairstyles ( wear it on the right while geisha wear it on the left). These  also feature eyeless white doves. The  and geisha fill in one eye and ask somebody they like to draw the other for good luck in the coming year.
