这个水引结胸针系列是2019年日本橄榄球世界杯（Rugby World Cup 2019）的纪念礼物，用来赠送给从世界各地赶来日本观看比赛的商界领袖和贵宾们。水引结（Mizuhiki）是一种传统的日式装饰性绳结，由纸制成，作为一种纪念性的礼品，普遍用于婚礼或者悼念等特殊场合。据传，水引结起源于日本室町时代（Muromachi period），不仅是产品包装上的装饰，更是一种吉祥的兆头。根据绳结的具体颜色和形式，它既可以代表人与人之间的联系，也可以象征一种长久的感情和稳定的关系。值得一提的是，不同于普通的绳结，水引结的绳结点会越拉越紧。
A commemorative gift for the Rugby World Cup 2019 in Japan given out to business leaders and VIPs from around the world who came to Japan to watch the game. Mizuhiki is a traditional Japanese decorative cord made of paper used in gifts given at special occasions such as weddings and mourning events. Mizuhiki is said to have its origin in the Muromachi period, and is not simply just a gift wrapping tool but is more of an omen of good fortune. It symbolizes messages such as connection between people or a long lasting relationship, depending on the colour and the form of the meticulously tied knot, which is tied in a way that when pulled, rather than becoming untied, becomes even tighter.

这种传统的水引结被设计成了一系列颜色不同的胸针，以代表参加本次世界杯的球队。因此水引结也就被赋予了更深层次的意义——它代表了橄榄球运动的核心价值观，例如团队协作精神、自我牺牲精神以及日本特有的好客精神等。每个球队的水引结在颜色上都采用与队服相同的配色，在形式上也采用了橄榄球争球中的“3-4-1”的形式。该胸针系列由Tsuda Mizuhiki Orikata的Rokusuke Tsuda——Kaga Mizuhiki公司创始人的第五代子孙负责设计和制作。

This traditional Mizuhiki was designed into a brooch that represents the positions of rugby players forming a scrum. The Mizuhiki brooch thereby represents the values of rugby such as teamwork and self-sacrifice as well as the hospitality spirit which is unique to Japan. The colours of the uniforms used in the participating teams were used, and the knots are positioned in the same positions as the “3-4-1” formation of a scrum. The production was handled by Rokusuke Tsuda of the Tsuda Mizuhiki Orikata, who is the fifth generation of the founder of Kaga Mizuhiki, founded approximately a century ago.

水引结胸针被小心翼翼地放置在一个由日本柏木打造而成的木盒中，每个木盒外面都包裹着一块由京都传统的Kyo-Yuzen染色技术扎染而成的包装布。这些包装布上均印有装饰性的金色图案。这些图案都意有所指，代表着橄榄球运动的某些场景，如围挤抢球、自由密集争球和列队争球等。每个木盒中都放置着两枚由和纸包起来的胸针，值得一提的是，这些和纸上均印有与包装布相同的金色图案。在这两枚胸针中，一枚代表着日本与法国——本届世界杯的举办者和下届世界杯的举办者，另一枚则代表着进入决赛的两个国家。

After unravelling the wrapping cloth (furoshiki) created by Kyo-Yuzen techniques and decorated with an original pattern embellished with gold leaf expressing rugby scenes such as maul, ruck and lineout, a Japanese cypress (hinoki-asunaro) lunchbox made by a wood craft worker of Wajima lacquerware appears. Inside, there are two Mizuhiki brooches wrapped in Ozu washi paper bearing the same gold pattern as the furoshiki. One brooch represents a scrum between this world cup’s host country Japan and the next world cup’s host France. The other is a scrum between the two teams in the final match.

胸针的制作流程极具挑战性，因为代表着二十个参赛国家的水引结必须要全部事先准备好，并在半决赛结束后立即将代表着两个决赛国家的水引结组合在一起，这就对手工艺人的速度有着超高的要求。
The work process was extremely challenging as the Mizuhiki for all the twenty participating teams were made beforehand and the brooch was put together after the semi-finals, requiring unprecedented speed from the craft workers.
