 note = {This research proposes to carefully study a hitherto rather overlooked but fundamental part of clothing structure : braiding. Braiding, known by its Japanese term as kumihimo, stands as one of the fundamental fiber constructions in textile history along with "weaving" and "knitting" yet it has received relatively little academic study. In Japan, historically kumihimo has used silk threads and produced a world class tradition. This research plans to undertake a close investigation of the cultural property of Japanese kumihimo from the standpoint of its place in the country's dress history, as well as its scientific and technical innovations to help its succession with the next generation. The silk artisan today in Japan relies entirely on foreign imported silk and there is a social will to produce local silk with traceable origins. This project hopes to advance the use of native silkworms in the making of kumihimo braiding},
