KUMIHIMO KUMI HIMO JAPANESE BRAIDING DISK

Here is a Japanese craft kit with the large (6 inch) Hamanaka Kumihimo Disk, instructions in Japanese, and a starter set of cord.

Although the instructions are not in English, the pictures are excellent, and enough to get you started. Your appetite will be whetted for more, such as the bobbins for winding the cord and a good set of English language instructions (such as we have in our full kit in another auction), but for just the basic disk, this is just what you need!

Brand new and factory sealed, and I'll ship it in a sturdy cardboard envelope to avoid any damage. Perfect if you just need another disk.

The material used for these disks is a high-density, high-tech EVA foam, the same material used to make high quality "flip flops" (not the cheaper ones). It has just enough "elasticity" to hold many sizes of cords snugly without making it difficult to slide the cords into the notches. Other materials—plastic, cardboard, fiberboard, low density foams—don't have all the qualities I believe are necessary for these looms. This material "pinches" the cord perfectly in place, doesn't bend in spite of cord stress, is lightweight for portability, and will last for years (still own your old flip-flops?!).
