Mizuhiki is a ribbon-like paper cord originally used for exchanging gifts in Japan. It is made from washi (classical Japanese paper) and cut into long thin strips, which have been twisted into strings then covered with glue made of seaweed and white clay to stiffen it. It is from this process that Mizuhiki gets its name: Mizu means water and hiki means to apply. After the cord is formed it is polished to a shine with cotton cloth or wrapped with colored silk or thin metallic paper for hundreds of beautiful color combinations. There are only a few areas in Japan where mizuhiki is being produced.
