The "Kan (crown) Kumi" is a high-class kumihimo braiding technique originally used for the cords of the crown in formal court attire. With a moderate thickness and suppleness, it's easy to tie, resists untying, and is a standard obi締め (sash tie) that can be used for most of the year, including spring, autumn, and winter. It features twisted tassels (yori-fusa) with small loops at the ends of the threads, making them durable, less prone to fraying, and giving them a luxurious feel. Suitable for a wide range of occasions, from formal wear like iromuji (single-colored kimono), visiting kimonos, and tsukesage (semi-formal kimono) to everyday wear like tsumugi (pongee) and komon (small-patterned kimono).
