Kumihimo Pouch

This pale pink pouch features a wide kumihimo braid and a large bow reminiscent of the fluttering tail of a goldfish. Rarely seen today, the braid used to create this pouch famously appears in the portrait of the 7th century Prince Shotoku Taishi. Also referred to as "Yasuda-gumi", this braid is the maximum width possible to be made on a traditional braiding stand.
