Kumihimo The art of Japanese Artistic Braiding
Kumihimo - Cord Braiding kumihimo is a traditional braiding art from Japan dating back over 2000 years. Today it is used extensively to make elegant cords for fashion jewellery and accessories. In the traditional art of braiding, a braiding stool or Marudai is used. The strands of thread are hung on weighted bobbins. The modern portable Mobidai system is made of dense foam, and the threads can be firmly tucked into the edge slots.
	Braiding on a Marundai or a Kumihimo Disk cannot be compared with European braiding and is for the most part based on the exchange of the different strands according to a certain principle. Traditional work on a Marundai requires much practise and concentration. The new Mobidai simplifies and eases the work considerably, and when used in conjunction with the Kumihimo Pattern cards, both young and old alike can construct fantastic cords with ease. Kumihimo Pattern cards: Interchangeable pattern discs for your Mobidai. Simply follow the numbers and create intricate patterns without having to study the patterns. Each cord design has its own pattern card
Kumihimo Applications Fashion accessories. Bags Belts key fobs Greeting Cards Scrapbooks Use a finer thread to achieve a slim line braided cord to add interest and dimension. Add beads etc for a glitzy effect.
