JCos Mizuhiki Collection - Kanou Musubi Earrings

WHAT IT IS: Mizuhiki Kanou Musubi Earrings Each Mizuhiki knot is customized for a specific event, such as a wedding ceremony or birth. The history of the Mizuhiki knot dates back to AD 607 when a Japanese delegate presented the Japanese emperor with a gift from China. This gift was decorated with a red and white twine knot to symbolize „safe travel”. Since then, the Japanese have used the same style, recreating the knot and starting the tradition of giving presents decorated with a Mizuhiki knot. Kanou Musubi is often found on Japanese amulets found in temples. The shape of the middle knot resembles the Chinese character "叶" Kanou, which means "a dream come true." Therefore, it has always been considered an auspicious symbol to have around. It is suitable for any occasion.
