What is Kumihimo?
Protection, bonds, vows... Kumihimo, a traditional Japanese craft dating back to the Heian period, has long been used for a variety of purposes. The cultural meaning of “tying” has been passed down through generations. Braided from 100% silk with care, the cords are both strong and elastic, and they retain their shape.
