"Through the broad vision of Kei Sahashi, the editor, who is an expert in the research and promotion of traditional Japanese craft products, three highly talented artists of widely different media have been brought together to explore and devise uses for kumihimo. Some of of these are radical, some more conservative, but all serve to illustrate the beauty of kumihimo and where they can find use, both in everyday life and for special occasions and ceremonies." -- dj flaps.
