Perfect for Traditional Japanese Weddings and Pre-Shooting: A Cute Catalog of "Mizuhiki Nail" Designs ♡

Mizuhiki Nails are Perfect for Japanese Weddings ♡

In Japan, it is customary to use "mizuhiki" to show respect when giving formal gifts.＊

Mizuhiki comes in various styles, such as butterfly knots and plum knots, making it popular as decorations for traditional Japanese weddings and items. ♡

Mizuhiki is also stylish as a point of nail art ♩ It is recommended for New Year's nails and Japanese wedding nails. ♡

※ Notes for Using Mizuhiki Nails at Weddings ※

Mizuhiki nails often feature butterfly knot designs, but the formal mizuhiki used in weddings is known as "musubikiri."

(The "butterfly knot" can be tied multiple times, symbolizing good fortune repeatedly, while "musubikiri," once tied, does not come undone, symbolizing the uniqueness of events like weddings.)

Therefore, when it comes to bridal nails, it's recommended to change butterfly knots to musubikiri designs (like awaji knots or plum knots). ♩
