Kumihimo is created by interlacing several to dozens of thread bundles. The beautiful three-dimensional structure creates deep shadows on the surface. Firmly woven by hand, the fabric has a unique tension. Using 100% silk threads dyed in thousands of colors, a variety of styles and patterns are expressed in a single thin string. The process is time-consuming and requires special skills and techniques, assembling it little by little.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Noriko YUKI, born and raised in Tokyo, graduated from Tokyo Zokei University with a degree in Fine Arts in Painting. She was deeply attracted by the beauty and techniques of the Peruvian Braiding in the Andes and started studying under master Kumihimo artist Etsuko Matsushita in 2003. Also discovering the art of Japanese traditional Kumihimo, Noriko started studying and working with Kumihimo.
ABOUT KUMIHIMO
Kumihimo are braided silk cords, a traditional art and craft that has been practiced in Japan for over fourteen hundred years. Historically, Kumihimo cords were used in aristocratic costumes, interior furnishings, decorations, musical instruments, and religious equipment for temples and shrines. In modern times, Kumihimo are crafted to make obijime, which are cords worn around the front of an obi and serve as an important decorative element and accessory for kimono.
