Mizuhiki Earrings

Mizuhiki earrings are beautiful and unique accessories made using the traditional Japanese art of mizuhiki — decorative cords made from tightly wound paper, often stiffened with glue and colored. Mizuhiki is traditionally used for gift wrapping, ceremonial decorations, and symbolic knots that represent good fortune, longevity, and bonds between people.

When crafted into earrings, mizuhiki cords are twisted and tied into elegant, often symbolic shapes like:

Awaji Musubi (あわじ結び): a knot symbolizing strong bonds and good luck.
Plum Blossom (梅結び): represents beauty and hope.
Turtle Shell (亀結び): symbolizes long life.
