Iga Kumihimo - Traditional Japanese Braiding Technique

Kumihimo is a Japanese traditional craft that mainly uses thin silk or cotton threads. Like knitting and weaving, it is considered a type of textile technology, and during the Edo period, it was actively produced as a decoration for samurai swords. Currently, they are developing new Iga kumihimo products such as straps that match the current lifestyle, as well as accessories such as kimono obijime, which is attracting attention from overseas as traditional Japanese culture. The characteristic of Iga Kumihimo is the beauty that each silk thread dyed in various colors shines in the light and intertwines with each other.
