About DASH OF JAPAN

Exploring the Potential of Mizuhiki

DASH OF JAPAN began from a curiosity about Mizuhiki cords—an unusual material that is not quite string, not quite wire, and no longer simply paper. Lightweight yet durable, flexible yet structured, Mizuhiki opens up endless possibilities for design.

Many of our pieces are created through spontaneous inspiration and intuitive design. A sudden idea, a color pairing, or an unexpected texture often sparks new creations, keeping the collection fresh and ever-evolving. At times, this approach leads to designs with a touch of humor and playfulness, adding another layer of individuality to the work.

 

A Japanese Sense of Aesthetics

The way colors are paired and shapes are formed reflects a distinctly Japanese sensibility. Subtle contrasts, balanced tones, and an appreciation for simplicity guide the design process, giving every piece a character that feels both modern and deeply rooted in craftsmanship.

Handwoven in Florida

Every item is handcrafted in Florida using Mizuhiki sourced from Japan. Each knot is tied with precision and care, resulting in jewelry that is lightweight, comfortable, and unmistakably unique.

What You Can Expect

While we respect Mizuhiki’s long tradition, what excites us most is its freedom: the way it can transform into endless shapes and bring unexpected beauty through color and form. Each creation is guided by the material itself—resulting in jewelry that feels simple, unique, and timeless.

From crafting to packaging, our hope is to share a dash of Japan with you in every detail.
