About Mizuhiki

Mizuhiki - Traditional Japanese Art

The origins of Mizuhiki can be traced back to the Heian period (794-1185). Initially, hemp cords were used, which were later replaced by paper cords. Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese art form that involves making decorative knots from special paper cords. These elaborate cords are often used for gift wrapping, ceremonies, and jewelry. Mizuhiki is an important part of Japanese culture, symbolizing appreciation, respect, continuity, and tradition.
