■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ★ Handmade earrings created with mizuhiki (Japanese paper cord). ★ These earrings feature a cute winter color design, using the ume-musubi (plum blossom knot) and a nanohana-musubi (rapeseed flower knot) with three and two strands respectively, connected to a magatama (comma-shaped) metallic bead. Total length: Approximately 4cm (See image 5) ★ The ume-musubi is a knot that is difficult to unravel, and the nanohana-musubi is also designed to be secure. Both ends are further secured with glue. The back is also neat and tidy (See images 4 and 5). The light weight of the material is a benefit of mizuhiki accessories, making them comfortable to wear without hurting your ears. ⚫ Mizuhiki has many different knotting styles, each with its own meaning. 【Ume-musubi (Plum Blossom Knot)】 ★ The ume-musubi, which is difficult to untie once knotted, represents a strong bond between people. ★ As the plum blossom heralds the arrival of spring, it also carries the wish for improved luck and good health. ⚫ Mizuhiki is believed to ward off misfortune from gifts, acting as a talisman. It also symbolizes the connection between people. Because mizuhiki is difficult to untie, it represents the strengthening of bonds, and has been cherished as a lucky item and a traditional Japanese craft for a long time. 【Materials】: Iida Mizuhiki • Colored mizuhiki, silk-wrapped mizuhiki, flower mizuhiki, special light mizuhiki, hagoromo mizuhiki ※ The metal parts contain multiple materials.
