What is Kumihimo?
Kumihimo is the ancient Japanese art of creating tassels or decorative (and functional) cords by weaving together silk threads. According to a website dedicated to the art, "Kumihimo was first used for decorating Buddhist scrolls and other artifacts. In later times, they were used to bind together Samurai armours and Kimonos. Kumihimo items are still popular in Japan. Although they are still used for the decorations of religious artificats and kimonos., now you can also find necklaces, bracelets and even as wall art."
