ISBN: 085532828-2

 

Kumihimo is the ancient art of Japanese braidmaking.

The craft covers a wide range of techniques made on various types of equipment.

This book; Beginners guide to Braiding the craft of Kumihimo, looks at braiding on a Marudai (Round stand), the most popular and versatile piece of equipment in use today.
Working with a traditional Marudai is a delightful experience. The equipment is aesthetic in appearance, feel and sound and the gentle rhythm of the repeated moves has a soothing quality.

Kumihimo is an accessible craft. Easy-to-make alternative equipment allows anyone to have a go.

This book sets out to demonstrate that Kumihimo does not have to be complicated to be beautiful. Kumihimo braids are often made with many bobbins following complex sets of moves. Yet simple sequences of moves can provide an array of stunning results.
In this book just six sets of moves are shown, each one creating a distinct type of braid.
