■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ★ Handmade earrings created with mizuhiki (Japanese paper cord). ★ These cute and refreshing earrings feature a double charm of ume-musubi (plum blossom knot) made with 3-strand and 2-strand cords, along with aurora-colored round beads. Size of ume-musubi: Top ume-musubi: approx. 2cm Bottom ume-musubi: approx. 1.5cm Total length: 7cm (See image 6) ★ Both ume-musubi are tied in a way that makes them difficult to unravel, even without wire, so the back is neat. (See image 4) The light weight of the material is a benefit of mizuhiki accessories, making them less likely to hurt your ears. ⚫ Mizuhiki has many different knotting styles, each with its own meaning. 【Ume-musubi】 ★ Ume-musubi, which is difficult to untie once knotted, represents a strong bond between people. ★ Since the plum blossom is a flower that heralds spring, it carries wishes for improved luck and good health. ⚫ Mizuhiki is meant to ward off evil spirits, stemming from the consideration of preventing misfortune from attaching to gifts. It also has the meaning of connecting people. Because mizuhiki cannot be easily untied, it is considered auspicious for strengthening bonds between people and has been cherished as 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.
