Mizuhiki can also be referred to as traditional Japanese wrapping. The basic procedure is to wrap with Japanese paper, tie with Mizuhiki, and write with a brush to describe the feelings of the giver. About a century ago, Kanazawa’s Sokichi Tsuda created a three dimensional folding pattern of Japanese paper, which had been a flat design until then, and evolved the Mizuhiki string work into a shaped knot.
