Synopsis

Kumihimo is presented as an ancient craft admired for combining practicality with beauty, with associations spanning fashion and the samurai. In this updated edition, Jacqui Carey explains how to use a marudai (round stand) to make a range of braids, opening up many possible combinations of colour, texture and material.

Clear step-by-step photographs lead beginners through six projects, supported by inspirational examples that show the variety achievable. The book also offers insight into this traditional Japanese craft, with 150 colour illustrations and 100 diagrams included.
