Overview
Mizuhiki is a decorative string used on the front of congratulatory and non-gratulatory envelopes, and is a decorative string material mainly used for yunoshin, gift covers, and New Year's decorations.
The beauty and delicacy of its curved lines are unique to Japanese culture, and there are details and deep meanings behind the way it is tied and the number of knots, with different types used for different occasions.
These days, mizuhiki is used for a wide variety of purposes, including decorative items, accessories, and interior decorations. Mizuhiki is also recommended for presentment, as it has the meaning of bringing people together, since it is made by pulling a string and tying it together. It is also light and small, making it an ideal souvenir for travel.
We will deliver valuable time that can only be experienced in Japan to tourists visiting Japan.
