Kumihimo: The Essence of Japanese Braiding
by Aiko Sakai and Makiko Tada
This English translation of a classic Japanese reference introduces more than 60 traditional kumihimo braids for the Marudai, Kakudai, and Ayatakedai. Clear step-by-step diagrams, photographs, and color illustrations present a wide variety of intermediate and advanced braiding techniques. It remains one of the few English-language resources devoted to Kakudai and Ayatakedai braiding, making it an invaluable addition to the library of any serious kumihimo enthusiast.
Originally published in Japanese by Nihon Vogue, this English edition was translated by Connie Prener and Ethel Kawamura and published by Lacis Publications in 2004.
