More Details
Japan is home to this original art of braiding known as kumihimo that got its start in the Asuka and Nara Periods (538-794CE) and continues to be in use to the present day. With the use of multicolored threads, a single kumihimo cord takes quite some time to produce. Kumihimo also served an important role in the lives of the Samurai. After the guided tour through the Kumihimo Museum, and a video explaining the history and artisanry of Domyo, founded in 1652, you can experience making authentic Kumihimo using 100% silk materials and the real tools artisans use to make these and other traditional products. We will finish it within the time, so you can take your one and only kumihimo home on the day. Several color variations of threads are set on the day of the production, so please choose your favorite braiding table from among the available color combinations while imagining how it will be finished.
