Mizuhiki earrings Tsubaki

Mizuhiki earrings Tsubaki (Handmade)

Mizuhiki is an ancient Japanese art form that uses a special cord made from strong Washi.

Mizuhiki has 3 meanings

1.  It is a proof that it is unopened (it is decorated on a monetary gift envelope)

2.  A talisman

3. “Connecting people” because the more you pull it, the stronger it becomes.
