Mizuhiki is a decorative paper cord created by twisting washi paper and hardening with glue coating.
In Japan Mizuhiki is essential for formal gifts. Japan has a custom to use Mizuhiki on gifts for loved ones.
There are many ways to express the feelings of the gift-sender with the choice of color, numbers and how they are tied for the different type of occasions.
In addition to the indication of unopened status, tying the Mizuhiki has a meaning of prayer.
The knot is tight and cannot be untied easily, so it symbolizes to connect people with each other and with their hearts.
