mizuhiki
The mizuhiki cord is made of washi (Japanese paper), tightly wound, starched to give it stiffness and then coloured. A long, long time ago, the cord was used to bind samurai hair. Nowadays, it is used ornamentally on gifts and decor in times of celebration. Many ikebanistas use mizuhiki to add a festive atmosphere to their arrangements, especially around the New Year.
Made in Japan.
