| DESIGN NAME: Musubi PRIMARY FUNCTION: Head Jewelry INSPIRATION: As some wedding cakes or beautiful decorative cakes inspired me, the idea of Japanese traditional Mizuhiki, the art of knotting cord into a decorative element, came up with this project. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The unique property is making Mizuhiki into jewelry element. Mizuhiki is a form of ornamental Japanese paper cord, and usually used to make ornate knots decorate packages and notes, but I tried to use it for jewelry with Swarovski crystal. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: An inspiration of wedding cakes or any beautiful decorative cakes brings up me the idea of Mizuhiki that plays an important role in Japanese culture as a symbol of affection, warmth, and togetherness. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in July 2016 and finished in September 2016 in the U.S. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: This head jewelry is created by arranging Japanese traditional technique, Tsumami zaiku and Mizuhiki zaiku with Swarovski crystal. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Diameter of Brim: 5.25", Crown: 3", Height of Crown: 2.25", Diameter of center flower: 3", Length of Mizuhiki: 8.5" TAGS: mizuhiki, tsumami, JapaneseTraditional, headdress, headjewelry, swarovski, swarovskicrystal, tenderness RESEARCH ABSTRACT: An inspiration of wedding cakes or beautiful decorative cakes brings up me the idea of Mizuhiki that plays an important role in Japanese culture as a symbol of affection, warmth, and togetherness. This head jewelry is created by arranging Japanese traditional technique, Tsumami zaiku and Mizuhiki zaiku with Swarovski crystal. CHALLENGE: The main challenge was making Mizuhiki style into jewelry by using Swarovski crystal. Mizuhiki is an ancient Japanese art form that used a special cord. The cord is usually created from rice paper that is tightly wound, starched to give it stiffness, and then colored.
