Celebrated fiber artist Kumiko Sudo invites you to bring one of Japan's most elegant artistic traditions into your home. Patterns for 20 handcrafted projects, each an exquisite accessory and a tiny work of art, are provided in this step-by-step guide. The centerpiece of the handbook is a range of stunning fabric jewelry—necklaces, bracelets, and earrings—crafted from silks or cottons complemented by a colorful decorative cord that is woven or knotted into unique designs, called kumihimo. Instructions are provided for several unusual craft techniques including Japanese knotwork, Delica beading, and fabric origami, each with color drawings and step-by-step directions. Projects are accompanied by color photographs evocative of contemporary Japanese style, and every chapter opens with a wonderful original watercolor by the author, as well as text providing reflections on Japanese life and art.

Kumiko Sudo is an internationally acclaimed quilt and fiber artist. Before moving to the United States in 1985, she was known by quilters and fiber artists throughout Japan for her books and was a popular presenter on Japanese national television. Today, Ms. Sudo's work is in several prestigious public and private collections throughout the United States, including the Museum of American Folk Art in New York City. She designs fabric for In the Beginning. Ms Sudo's books, including Kokoro no Te, Kake-Jiku, Flower Origami, Folded Flowers, Omiyage, Fabled Flowers, and East Quilts West, have inspired quilters and artists around the world. Ms. Sudo lives in Eugene, Oregon.
