KOYORI ANECDOTES: MIZUHIKI AND KOYORI
Mizuhiki serves a dual purpose in Japanese tradition: not only does it secure gift wrappings, but it also conveys the emotions of the giver through its intricate knots. Once tied, the knot symbolizes an unbreakable connection, embodying the profound significance of human relationships and interconnectedness.
The diverse shapes and colors of Mizuhiki hold symbolic meanings that have endured through time. For significant events like weddings, where the symbolism of permanence is treasured, the 'musubi-kiri' knot signifies an unbreakable bond once secured. Conversely, for occasions such as childbirth or traditional festivals, where joy is cyclical, the 'hana-musubi' (butterfly knot) symbolizes the wish for continued happiness as it can be untied and retied.
Our brand, KOYORI, derives its name from the material used in Mizuhiki. Each strand of Koyori, though seemingly small, forms a robust bond when interlaced, symbolizing our close alliance with manufacturers and collaborative designers. We together strive to deliver furniture and interior accessories made in Japan of unwavering quality and timeless designs that transcend cultural boundaries.
