    “Japan is home the original #art of #braiding known as #kumihimo that got its start in the Asuka and Nara Periods (538-794CE) and continues to be in use to the present day. With the use of multicolored #threads, a single kumihimo cord takes quite some time to produce, yet it has never played a leading role in the world of traditional #handicrafts. Rather it served as an essential decoration, an accessory which has always served to add a splash of color to #Japanese culture.”
