Knot is a brand of long-established company Tsuda Mizuhiki, the originator of Kaga mizuhiki, a traditional cord-tying craft. The brand name plays on the words “knot” and “not” to suggest their pieces are different from traditional mizuhiki knots, and “not” the same as before. At their core is a confidence that the essence of mizuhiki will never change.

Knot aims to pass on the tradition and culture of mizuhiki while creating items that appeal to a new generation and wider audience, such as designs with modern colors or small items that can be easily incorporated into daily life.
