Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese form of braiding using multiple strands of cord and/or ribbon. 

Kumihimo braids are very popular for bracelets but can also be used in necklaces. Different designs and patterns are possible by changing your braiding material, varying the thickness or number of your strands, using a round disk versus a square plate, and by adding beads.

The front cover has a name tag at the top.  The covers have some small faint stains and tiny worn spots.
