The lower tama-musubi dangle and sway, creating a cute design ☆ ★ The inner two strands are ume-musubi made with shimmering aurora blue mizuhiki, combined with a muted blue tama-musubi with embedded pearl beads, creating a small and cute design. The color is perfect for winter, shimmering fantastically like an aurora depending on the angle. ⚫ There are many ways to tie mizuhiki, and each has a meaning. 【Ume-musubi (Plum Blossom Knot)】 ★ Ume-musubi, which is difficult to untie once tied, represents a strong bond between people. ★ Since the plum blossom is a flower that heralds spring, it carries the wishes for improved luck and good health. ⚫ Mizuhiki is meant to ward off evil spirits, as a consideration for gifts so that nothing inauspicious attaches to them. It also means to connect people, and because mizuhiki cannot be easily untied, it is considered auspicious as it strengthens the 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 【Size】: Approximately 4-5cm in total length ※ Please refer to image 6 ※ The metal parts contain multiple materials.
