SynopsisThe literal translation of Kumihimo is 'the gathering of threads', although the name can be applied to all forms of Japanese braiding. In this original and fascinating title, Rodrick Owen uses his years of experience to unlock the secrets of the closely guarded world of the Takadai -- a form of Kumihimo in which single- and double-layered flat braids with a plain weave and twill structure are made using a high-stand frame. Book jacket., Sumihimo is literally translated as the 'gathering together of threads', although the name can be applied to all forms of Japanese braiding. In this heavily illustrated volume, the author reveals the history and secrets of the craft and gives step-by-step instructions on how to create a series of designs.
