Among handicrafts I loved, the most suited to me is Kumihimo, with which I have
been working for 30 years. Marudai and Takadai are my favorite techniques.

Kumihimo with beads

Enchanted by a naturally dyed thread, I began Kumihimo in 1981. Encounter with
a new color is always exciting and braiding the colors into a dreamed figure is a
indescribable pleasure. This pleasure may be braided into a Kumihimo because it always
make me happy whenever I open the strage box.
