Haibara Chiyogami Needle Threader (45-269)

The Handle of the Threader Finished with Haibara Chiyogami

Story

"Haibara Chiyogami Needle Threader" is a collaboration product with Haibara, which is a traditional Japanese paper company in business for more than 200 years in Nihonbashi, Tokyo.

Chiyogami is a traditional Japanese paper with patterns printed on it. Since the establishment, Haibara has commissioned illustrators and artists of the time to create original designs for their Chiyogami. The prints are available even today. Haibara Chiyogami has been loved by many people throughout the ages. Three types of patterns were carefully selected among the many patterns of Haibara, and reprinted in Cohana's original colors.

The handle of the needle threader is made with these special Chiyogami. The smooth texture of the high-quality Chiyogami and the stable handle make it easy to thread small needle holes. The hexagonal shape is considered auspicious, symbolizing harmony and stability, and has long been used for celebrations and special gifts.

Recommended as a gift together with "Assorted Needles in Haibara Chiyogami Pack", which uses the same Chiyogami as the wrapping paper.
