2018.06.29 published

When it comes to wedding mizuhiki, it's the Awaji knot＊

The Awaji knot is the most common way to tie mizuhiki used at weddings＊

The Awaji knot is said to symbolize the request for a "long-lasting, uninterrupted relationship" since it becomes even tighter when both ends are pulled.

Mizuhiki is often used not only in congratulatory envelopes but also for wedding celebrations and return gifts.

(Note: The butterfly knot of mizuhiki can be tied multiple times, making it suitable for celebrations that can be repeated. It is not used for weddings.)

You can tie the Awaji knot yourself＊

Once tied, the Awaji knot will not come undone. It may look difficult at first glance, but you can actually make it yourself♩

You only need mizuhiki and scissors!

《Uses of the Awaji knot》

The Awaji knot you made can be used in various situations♩

For example, as a small accent on place cards,

or make a lot of them for a mizuhiki shower,

or turn them into accessories like earrings or hair ornaments,

or use them to create handmade envelopes for congratulatory gifts, transportation fees, or tips＊

Brides who are having a traditional wedding will find it very useful to know how to make this♡

【Advanced】 Being particular about the color of the mizuhiki is cute too!

The interesting part about the Awaji knot is that the mood changes based on the color combinations of the mizuhiki＊

White and red give a classic atmosphere, while adding gold creates a festive impression, and the overall feeling can change depending on the ratio of colors◎
