Kumihimo no Sato

Kumihimo no Sato is a dedicated space in Iga, Japan, focused on the art of Kumihimo – a centuries-old technique of Japanese braiding. The venue functions as both a museum, displaying the history and artistry of Kumihimo, and a craft center, offering visitors the opportunity to create their own braided bracelets or keychains. While currently much of the museum's information is presented in Japanese, efforts are underway to increase accessibility with English translations. The center is particularly appealing to those interested in Japanese crafts, families, and individuals seeking a unique hands-on experience.
