Elevate your creative projects with authentic Japanese pure silk braided cord. This extra-thick version measures 5.5 to 6 millimeters in thickness, woven in the classic Edo-uchi style. The natural sheen and tight weave of pure silk lend a luxurious feel to any design.
Kumihimo, the traditional art of Japanese braid making, has a long history in Japan. Historically used for samurai armor, clothing ties, and sacred ceremonial items, these woven strands remain popular worldwide for their elegance and strength. Incorporating true Japanese silk cord brings a touch of traditional craftsmanship into modern design.
This cord is sold by the meter and shipped as a single continuous length. Orders of 20 meters or more may arrive with one or two breaks along the way. The cut ends come neatly secured with transparent tape to keep the braid from unraveling while you work. Larger orders also qualify for a quantity discount, with rates varying by thickness; place your order and the shop will confirm the adjusted price by email.
Because natural silk is a delicate fiber, keep it away from excessive sweat, water, and friction, as these conditions can cause the color to transfer or fade over time.
Extra-thick Edo-uchi kumihimo cord made of pure silk, approximately 5.5 to 6 mm thick. Sold by the meter and supplied in one continuous length; custom cut lengths are not available. Orders over 20 meters may include one or two joins depending on the total length. Ends are secured with clear tape.
The cord is treated to help prevent color transfer, but color may bleed when exposed to heavy perspiration, excessive rubbing, or large amounts of water.
