Notes
Established in 1652, the long-standing Kumihimo (braided cord) shop "DOMYO" is committed to hand-dyeing and hand-braiding, preserving the traditional art of Kumihimo even in the modern era of mechanized production. Each piece is meticulously dyed and skillfully braided by experienced craftsmen, resulting in obi cords with high elasticity and a glossy texture.
The Kumihimo Experience by DOMYO (Yusoku Kumihimo DOMYO Kagurazaka), which opened in spring 2023, is a new base for promoting new initiatives while carrying on the traditions that have been passed down through generations.
