what is Mizuhiki?
Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese art form made from tightly twisted paper cords.
It has been used for centuries to decorate gifts and express good wishes, symbolizing connection, respect,
and good fortune.
Each knot carries its own meaning — once tied,
it represents a bond that should never be broken.
About Artist
chamee
Mizuhiki artist
Originally from Ehime, Japan
I have always been drawn to the quiet beauty of paper and its ability to connect people through craft.
This connection led me to Mizuhiki,
the Japanese art of decorative paper cords
that symbolize ties of love, gratitude, and good fortune.
Now based in the Netherlands, I create handmade Mizuhiki pieces that blend Japanese tradition with contemporary design.
Through each knot, I hope to share the spirit of harmony and connection — values that transcend cultures and continue to inspire my work today.
