Mizuhiki (水引, or 'water-pull') is an ancient Japanese art form of knot-tying, commonly used to decorate envelopes, which are given as gifts for special occasions .

The art of mizuhiki dates back to Japan's Asuka period (from 538 to 710, a period characterized by its artistic, social, and political transformations), during which an envoy from the Sui dynasty brought gifts embellished with red and white hemp strings.

Note : untying the knots will void the warranty.
