Yotsugumi is a technique of braiding, which is the basic braiding method of 4 strands of braided cord.
The weave of each thread is large and uneven, and the result is a very fine but firm material with good tension.
It is very simple because it is made of four balls, half of the eight-braid, but because of its simplicity, it is considered to be a very difficult cord to make beautifully.
The large, fluffy braids have a very typical kumihimo look. This way of braiding can be seen in many applications such as netsuke strings and haori cords since ancient times.

About machine weaving kumihomo
You might think that machine weaving can be mass-produced.
However, the machine weaving of kumihimo is quite precious nowadays, and there are only a few factories in Japan.
As a matter of fact, the amount that can be woven in one day is limited.
The maintenance is also done by the factory workers themselves.
It is a world of craftsmen more than you imagine.
