Kumihimo: The Essence of Japanese Braiding
Authors: Aiko Sakai & Makiko Tada
The confluence of spirit and thread defies the complexity of Kumihimo, the traditional Japanese braid. As an object of beauty as well as honor, the braid also has a role in utility and fashion. In this advanced work, braid construction is explored using the instruments for creation, the marudai, the kakudai, and the ayatakedai by stepped diagrams and basic instructions. More than 50 braid designs are detailed. This is an English translation of the original Japanese publication from 1980.

I haven’t had time to
"I haven’t had time to try any of the braids yet, but I was so happy to find a Japanese craft book translated into English. I am second generation Japanese American and these braids are just like the ones my relatives send me from Japan"
Looks brand new. .
"This book was translated to English in 2004. I received it as if it were just published this year. It was clean with no tears or marks. It was well packaged and arrived early. Other sellers were charging three times the price I paid. Awesome find, great seller."
Thank you!
"Thank you!"
