■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ ★ Handmade earrings made with mizuhiki (decorative paper cords). These earrings feature three strands of the "ume musubi" knot (plum blossom knot), and a combination of the rapeseed flower knot with a pearl bead in the center, and the ball knot. The red color stands out in the military color scheme. The ball knots at the bottom dangle and sway, creating a design that is both chic and cute ☆ ⚫ There are many ways to tie mizuhiki, and each has a meaning. 【Ume Musubi (Plum Blossom Knot)】 ★ The ume musubi is difficult to untie, representing 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, as a consideration for gifts. It also means to connect people. Since mizuhiki cannot be easily untied, it has been a traditional Japanese craft, considered auspicious for strengthening bonds between people. 【Materials】: Iida Mizuhiki 　　　　• Colored mizuhiki, silk-wrapped mizuhiki, 　　　　Flower mizuhiki, special light mizuhiki, 　　　　Hagoromo mizuhiki 【Size】: Approximately 5cm in total length ※ Please refer to image 5 ※ The metal parts contain multiple materials.
