KUMIHIMO is the ancient art of samurai families, where women knotted decorative strings onto the clothes they wore. Even today, useful objects decorated with this knotting technique (bracelets, belts, hanging decorations, key-rings, for decorating functional objects, interior decoration, etc.) can be created using this technique, originally used by samurai who used to tie their armor and horses with these strong braids. In the old days they were used together with other utensils such as muradai or takadai. Nowadays, kumihimo is used to make kimono belts, bracelets and accessory strings, among other things. The modern kumihimo disk, made of foam, can be used as a portable marudai.Material: P-foamThe word refers to a disk.
