Kumihimo: braiding the thread

Описание к видео Kumihimo: braiding the thread

Following the video Kumihimo: Dying and Preparing the thread, see how the silk thread is braided to form kumihimo using two different braid stands.

In our first sequence, the craftsperson sits at a takadai braiding station and passes bobbins through the upper and lower registers of threads. They then beat the thread to tighten the braid with a bamboo tool known as a hera.

Second, on the round top of a marudai stand, threads are crossed back and forth in a regular sequence, to create a braided cord.

Learn more about this craft in our exhibition Kumihimo: Japanese Silk Braiding by DOMYO.
