Kumihimo

Yesterday, I took a class in kumihimo, the traditional art of Japanese braiding. Originally, the samurai originally made their own braid to hold their sword. They used exquisite wooden stands and bobbins to make their braids. In the class we used these flexible disks. It was fun and soothing in a way. Of course, we did a very simple braid.
