The inspiration for these designs came when he conceived of a three-dimensional way of folding and wrapping Japanese paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eMizuhiki itself is Japan’s traditional form of wrapping: to wrap a gift in Japanese paper, to tie it with paper cords, and to write the reason for the gift. These three elements form the foundation of mizuhiki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eTraditionally, the washi used for gift wrapping was folded flat. Tsuda, however, invented a soft, three-dimensional wrapping method and adorned it with artistic mizuhiki knots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eIn this way, mizuhiki wrapping was elevated into an art form and later became established as the traditional craft known as Kaga Mizuhiki.
