Mizuhiki Jewelry-Making

Experience the Beauty of Traditional Japanese Art

Celebrate spring by creating your own mizuhiki sakura frame art inspired by the beautiful cherry
blossoms of Japan!

Mizuhiki is said to have originated around the 7th century, when red and white cords were attached to gifts exchanged through trade with China. Over time, it developed into a refined Japanese craft used to express heartfelt sentiments for weddings, seasonal celebrations, and other important occasions. Even today, Mizuhiki remains a meaningful way to convey respect, gratitude, and good wishes through the act of
tying.

In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to shape mizuhiki into delicate three-
dimensional cherry blossoms. Your finished design will be placed in a 4 × 6 inch shadow box frame, creating a unique piece of art that you can proudly display in your home or give as a thoughtful spring gift.
