Mitsuro Band - Overlap
Vow Collection
The very first and most highly cherished of our mitsuro style bands- it has two ends that meet and overlap at the middle like a sturdy embrace.
An ancient Japanese wax technique, Mitsuro Hikime was originally developed using earthen elements like pine resin and beeswax to create a stretchy wax that striates like the leaves of bamboo. Creating mitsuro requires an open mind that is flexible, agile and never overly attached to outcome, as well as steady hands that can draw out a material consistently. These rings are like little poems to the present moment.
