Learn Kumihimo Without Attending a Class

Many people in the UK and US believe that kumihimo requires in-person instruction.
However, this kumihimo self-study book is designed to remove that barrier.

Each technique is explained through carefully structured diagrams, allowing you to understand the braid construction visually rather than relying on language-heavy instructions. This makes it especially effective for learners studying on their own.
