The History and Significance of Kumihimo in Japanese Culture

Mari Hashimoto, Japanese art writer and curator of the JAPAN HOUSE Los Angeles exhibition KUMIHIMO: The Art of Japanese Silk Braiding by DOMYO, examines the evolution of kumihimo throughout Japanese history and the many roles and functions of these braided silk cords in Japanese culture.  Kumihimo are braided silk cords that have been made for over fourteen hundred years in Japan. Based on techniques introduced to Japan from the Asian continent in the sixth century, these cords evolved in Japan in complexity, color and style as they were incorporated into increasing areas of Japanese life. Initially used as decorative ties in the costumes and furnishings of the Imperial court and as detailing for religious shrines and equipment, the cords became integral elements of the arms and armor of the warrior classes and later decorative accessories for kimono.
