A collaboration has been realized between "TSUMUGI," a project that creates paper thread from used paper resources and unused thinning materials, and "Tokyo Mizuhiki," which plans, produces, and sells mizuhiki art and accessories with the theme of "always making your heart happy." In order to connect the traditional mizuhiki techniques and the global environment to the next generation, mizuhiki artist Emi Nakamura has created a variety of creative accessories using "upcycled mizuhiki" from the "TSUMUGI" project.

The creative accessories, which combine the designs that make use of the spirit of hospitality, elegance, and gratitude that Mizuhiki possesses with the natural, light, and soft colors of "TSUMUGI," blend into everyday life.

Upcycled Mizuhiki is softer than traditional Mizuhiki, and requires ingenuity in tying. By combining upcycled Mizuhiki, which is characterized by its simple texture, with the red Mizuhiki that Tokyo Mizuhiki treasures, we were able to create a warm and familiar accessory that retains the original elegance of Mizuhiki. We hope that this piece will encourage more people to become interested in upcycling, and that this culture will be passed down to the next generation.
