122 : Kaga Mizuhiki paper cords for a safe family

122----Kazuhiko Hirata
平田 和彦

Kaga Mizuhiki paper cords are ceremonial exchange of engagement gifts in Kanazawa. We will celebrate a wedding anniversary soon. I realized that we will make a match by these “things” when I saw these paper cords. The crafts of Mizuhiki paper cords, as such, is novel object for me as an outsider of Kanazawa.  That is unforgettable memory, though It was in the twinkling of an eye for 6 months after engagement.

加賀水引 家内喜多留

金沢で結納の品として贈られる加賀水引。間もなく結婚一周年を迎えますが、本当に結婚するんだなぁ、と初めて「モノ」として実感できたのが、この水引を見たときでした。県外から金沢に来た僕にとっては、水引細工というもの自体が新鮮でした。それから式までの半年間はあっという間でしたが、忘れられない思い出です。
