These chopstick rests with a shape of plum-knot are made by "knot", a brand of Tsuda Mizuhiki. The golden knot, typical of Kanazawa, is gorgeous, and together with the red and white, it creates an elegant and festive atmosphere.

The ume (plum) knot is the basic knot and is considered auspicious in Japan, along with "Sho-chiku-bai" (pine, bamboo, and plum). The plum flower is tied tightly and is difficult to untie, which means "strong bond and longevity".

As chopstick rests, they can add a touch of Japanese flair to festive occasions. It can be lightly washed and used repeatedly.

They can also be used not only as chopstick rests but also as a variety of decorations. Attach a string or pin and enjoy using them in various ways as gift ornaments or hair ornaments, depending on your ideas.

This item is small but full of the goodness of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. 

"knot" is the brand of Tsuda Mizuhiki, a long-established company that originated Kaga Mizuhiki. Because the spelling and pronunciation of knot and not are similar, the name was given with the meaning of being different from traditional mizuhiki and not the same as before. The brand creates items that will appeal to a wider generation, such as modern colors and small items that can be easily incorporated into everyday life.

Tsuda Mizuhiki is a brand run by the descendants of Tsuda Sokichi, the founder of "Kaga Mizuhiki".
Tsuda Sokichi was the first in Japan to create three-dimensional mizuhiki craftwork and folded forms for betrothal gifts and special envelopes for monetary gifts, which until then had been flat. Kaga mizuhiki has elevated mizuhiki to the realm of elegance and artistry and popularized it in the modern age.
