A Collection of Cute Wedding Items Using Japan's Traditional Craft: Tsumami Zaiku

Japanese Traditional Craft "Tsumami Zaiku"＊

A traditional craft designated by Tokyo that has been passed down since the Edo period, "Tsumami Zaiku."

It is a technique of folding and combining small squares of fabric called Habutae, which is a thin silk, to create shapes such as flowers and birds.

The name "Tsumami Zaiku" comes from the gesture of pinching when folding the small fabric.
