Luxury Black Japanese Silk Kumihimo Cord Kyoto 8-Strand Braid 0.7–7mm 1M

From the historic city of Kyoto, where tradition and craftsmanship have been passed down for centuries, comes our Luxury Black Japanese Silk Kumihimo Cord. Kumihimo, the traditional Japanese art of braiding, has long been used for armor, ceremonial attire, and accessories – not only as decoration, but also as a symbol of strength and connection. This cord is masterfully braided by Kyoto artisans using the 8-strand “Edouchi” technique on specialized kumihimo machines. The result is a cord with perfectly aligned patterns, a refined balance of durability and softness, and the lustrous glow of 100% pure silk. In Japanese culture, black represents elegance, protection, and quiet strength. The deep, jet-black sheen of this cord adds sophistication and depth, making it a versatile choice for jewelry, traditional accessories, interior accents, and gift wrapping. ⸻ 🌟 Recommended Uses • Jewelry making (bracelets, necklaces, earrings, beading) • Kimono obi ties and traditional Japanese accessories • Macramé, textile crafts, and decorative knots • Gift wrapping and unique interior embellishments ⸻ 📏 Product Details • Sizes: 0.7mm / 1.0mm / 1.5mm / 2.0mm / 2.5mm / 3.0mm / 4.0mm / 5.0mm / 7.0mm • Material: 100% Pure Silk • Braid Type: 8-Strand Edouchi (machine-braided by skilled artisans) • Length: Sold per meter (continuous length for multiple meters) • Origin: Kyoto, Japan ⸻ ✨ The Atelier Miyabi Story At Atelier Miyabi, our mission is to bring the elegance of Japanese craftsmanship into everyday life around the world.
