and then one thing leads to another. badenbaden sells sachie muramatsu's pendants. she works with washi. these ones are called hanamizuki. which i think is a type of tree, a flowering dogwood? but maybe japanese readers can help?
the above two are custom-made orders
These are just amazing!!! how so delicate and charming! now i really need to go to their shop to see the actuall products.
ReplyDeleteはい！hanamizuki is the name of a tree. 花水木。very pretty white and pink flowers come out just after the sakura season. It says it's Flowering Dogwood in English.
