Kumi Himo: Techniques of Japanese Plaiting
By Jules and Kaethe Kliot
Originally published in 1977, this small booklet offers an introduction to traditional Japanese kumihimo.
Its 20 pages cover an introduction to kumihimo, traditional tools, materials and preparations, and braiding techniques, accompanied by diagrams.
The diagrams reflect the booklet's 1977 origins. They are less refined than modern instructional illustrations and may require some interpretation by the reader.
This booklet offers an interesting look at how Japanese braiding was presented to English-speaking readers in an earlier era.
