Making Kumihimo by Rodrick Owen
Sumihimo is literally translated as the 'gathering together of threads', although the name can be applied to all forms of Japanese braiding. In this heavily illustrated volume, the author reveals the history and secrets of the craft and gives step-by-step instructions on how to create a series of designs.
