Plum Blossom Mizuhiki Chopstick Rest
Description
A small plum blossom, formed from delicate loops of shimmering mizuhiki cord, brings a cheerful touch to the table. Its gently overlapping petals gather around a golden centre, creating a flower that feels both playful and carefully composed.
In Japan, plum blossoms are associated with the arrival of spring and new beginnings, making them a fitting symbol for celebrations and gatherings. Yet their charm is just as welcome on an ordinary day. Place one beside each setting to add a little colour and warmth to a shared meal, or display it as a small decorative piece between occasions.
Features
Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese decorative cord made from twisted paper, historically used for gift wrapping and ceremonial occasions. Its intricate knots often express good wishes, gratitude and meaningful connections. Here, the traditional craft takes the familiar shape of a plum blossom, bringing its symbolism into everyday life.
Created by Knot, the accessory collection of Kanazawa-based Tsuda Mizuhiki Origata, each flower is formed by arranging and intertwining mizuhiki cords. The flowing loops create an open, sculptural shape, while the small golden knot at the centre holds the composition together.
The plum blossom is a traditional symbol of good fortune and renewal in Japan. These chopstick rests are particularly suited to festive meals, weddings and seasonal celebrations, but their simple floral form makes them equally enjoyable throughout the year. Each piece also comes in a clear presentation case, making it a thoughtful small gift.
