Lonely Planet review for Adachi Kumihimo-kan

Kyoto’s most famous braidmaker, Adachi Kumihimo-kan has a gallery of fine items on display. Here you can weave your own braid on wooden hand looms. It takes about two hours, and the cost depends on the length of the class and what you make. Delicately woven kyō-kumihimo (Kyoto-style braid work) was developed in the Heian period for fastening kimono, but gradually spread to other ornamental applications. Today the braid is again most commonly used as obi-jime (the tie for kimono sashes). Reservations in Japanese are necessary.
