Mizuhiki Art – Japanese Traditional Paper Cord
In this series of two workshops led by Ayami Terasawa, you are invited to explore the essence of Mizuhiki, a traditional paper cord, delving into its history, significance, and versatility. You do not need to attend both sessions.
Mizuhiki, deeply rooted in Japanese culture, serves vital roles in ceremonies like weddings and funerals as a decorative knot to seal gifts, traditionally in red and white, though its color palette has evolved over time. Participants will enjoy a unique opportunity to delve into both traditional techniques and modern interpretations of Mizuhiki art, crafting accessories such as earrings, blending intricate knots with contemporary designs—a chance to uncover tradition with a modern twist.
