Mizuhiki Jewelry

Mizuhiki is an ancient Japanese artform that uses stiff rice paper cord to create decorative knots or three dimensional sculptures and models.

There are a number of different forms of mizuhiki.
It is traditionally used to create decorations given away at special occasions, similar to the Western use of ribbons tied in a bow around a present.

Mizuhiki has the meanings of sealing and "unopened",
protection from evil, and connecting people to each other.

The more you pull on the mizuhiki knot, the stronger it becomes, which is why there has been a culture of hanging mizuhiki on gifts in Japan since ancient times.

Mizuhiki also symbolizes happiness, so wearing it makes everybody around you and yourself feel merry and happy.
