December 2017,
At the end of that year when I became a rainbow garden,
With too miraculous development
I was so miraculously able to get the book published.

As of 2021, it is still being used by many people,
every time we hold an event,
["Is this your book? This is your book?] I continue to sell them by hand at every event,
And, thankfully, we continue to receive
[I have this book!] I have this book!
At the end of last year
Thanks to all of you, the book has been reprinted.
Thank you very much!

This is a book that was created in the year we started,
the early works that have now become a standard
It is a book that was made in the year we started, so it contains how to make the early works that are now standard.
It's been four years, and I'm even worse at it than I am now.
I'd like to put a mosaic on the work itself,
I would like to mosaic a little bit of the work itself, but I would like to thank the many professionals who worked on this book,
I am still very much in love with this book,
I myself am still in love with this book.

Musubi itself has been handed down in Japan since ancient times.
has been handed down in Japan since ancient times.
I believe that mizuhiki is not just a material, but love.
Therefore, I am only borrowing it,
[I think and create something that is arranged for the present.
I think about and create things that I have arranged to suit [the present].
I use only a few basic types in my work.
That is because
I don't use only a few basic types of musubi because I want to cherish the thought that goes into each one.
I want to cherish the feelings that are put into each musubi.

The predecessors of our time used their rich sensitivities to
by expressing their feelings of consideration on the mizuhiki string.
I am connected to you and I,
I know that they have communicated their hearts to you,
and love to as many people as possible,
I would like to share this with as many people as possible.
I hope that many people will be able to experience the beauty of this Japanese culture! I hope that as many people as possible
I continue to make them with the hope that as many people as possible will feel
I continue to make them with the hope that as many people as possible will feel the beauty of this Japanese culture.

If you like to make things by hand, please do so,
through this book,
I hope that those of you who like to make things by hand will try to touch mizuhiki through this book.
I am now reminded of what it means to convey one's feelings to the other person,
I am reminded of that now,
I think it is a tool that allows you to feel
I really think that it is a tool that allows us to feel again what it means to send our feelings to others.

I've learned how to tie a few basic knots
I'm going to show you how to make everything from accessories to craft goods
I have included a variety of ways to make

Now that I have more time at home,
we are happy if it gives you a chance to think about what is important to you
We are happy if it is an opportunity for you to feel the importance of your time at home.
