Paper Crafts

Hello I’ｍ Satoi, a Japanese national with 2 daughters and an Australian husband.  

I’m an instructor of handmade “𝒎𝒊𝒛𝒖𝒉𝒊𝒌𝒊” artworks.  
“mizuhiki” is Japanese traditional paper cords which have been originally used for decoration of greeting cards and presents since 6th century.  Recently, Mizuhiki has varied in colors and materials and started to adjust modern fashion.  Accessories and interior items made of “mizuhiki” are very popular in Japan for its lightweight feature, as well as unique and fashionable style.

I have started as an instructor at the Adult Education Center in 2019 and 2020, as well as private lessons at home during my stay in Boston.  I went back to Japan in the middle of 2020 then opened private lessons after the covid lockdown.  I have conducted mizuhiki workshops for approximately 400 individuals over the past year through matching sites connecting instructors and students, local facilities in Tokyo, as well as private salons.  Since July 2023, I have started living in the US again (this time in NY) then set my class here. 

Anyone who are interested in Japanese culture, or fond of handicraft are welcome.  Let's start tying mizuhiki nots from the simple form and graduate to complicated ones. I also recommend for those who particularly like the beauty of colors.  You will be surprised at the gradations or unique conbinations of colors you chose while you are making the artwork.  

All ages above 9 years are welcome, and no need to prepare any materials (authentic Mizuhiki imported from Japan and accessory parts are all included in the fee).  However, if you have pliers and scissors which you usually use, pleas bring them with you, otherwise please feel free to use ones I have.

I look forward to seeing you!
Thank you very much.

もともと言葉の表現を生業としてきましたが、心の動きやおもてなしの気持ちを色と結びのかたちで表現できる日本文化・水引に興味を持ち、結び方を習得して2018年にボストンで教えはじめました。コロナで日本に戻り、落ち着いてから東京の自宅でレッスンを再開しました。直近1年では講師と生徒を結ぶマッチングサイトや区の施設、またプライベートサロンなどで延べ約400名に向けてワークショップを行いました。
今年、再びアメリカ（今度はNY）で生活することになり、海外で興味をお持ちの方に広く水引を知っていただければと考え、自宅やプライベート会場でのレッスンを始めました。色や素材の種類が豊かで美しい色合いを持つ水引は、今日ではアクセサリーやインテリア小物などに用いられ広い年代に親しまれています。水引を結んで自分の手でアイテムを完成させることはもちろん、自分のその日の気持ちに沿って選んだ色でじっくりと集中して水引を結ぶ時間が、生活や心に彩りを添える貴重な体験になるように、しっかりサポートしていきます。お一人でも、お友だちとご一緒でも、まずはお気軽にご連絡ください。
