In the heart of Kyoto, a city where history and artistry intertwine, artisans have preserved the ancient tradition of kumihimo – the Japanese art of braiding cords.
Our Luxury Red Japanese Silk Kumihimo Cord carries this timeless craft into the present, blending cultural heritage with modern elegance.
Each cord is carefully braided on a traditional machine by skilled Kyoto craftspeople. Using the 8-strand “Edouchi” braiding technique, the result is a cord with perfectly balanced patterns, exceptional durability, and a gentle softness that only pure silk can provide.
The deep, vivid red is more than just a color. In Japanese culture, the “red thread” is a symbol of destiny, love, and connection, while the “red cord” represents protection and wishes. With every strand, this cord embodies a story of beauty, spirituality, and craftsmanship.
