I am thinking of getting a marudai and the photos in the books just confused me. This is very clear. Also as an elementary school teacher I applaud your emphasis on physically doing things over and over to really get the feel for it.
Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful and positive comments. I'm thrilled that the video is proving to be helpful! I do plan to make more, but I don't know when I will have the time....but stayed tuned!
Thank you so much for showing the correct way to handle the tama. I will have to review my own method and correct any mistakes. Looking forward to more videos.
Michael, thank you so much for doing this. It will be an invaluable aid to those making the transition from Mobdai (disc) to Marudai (stand). Those with Jacqui Carey's Japanese Braiding - TheArt of Kumihimo can follow your movements using her 8 tama square and then later the 8 tama round - looking forward to more
Thank you! I'll have to watch myself next time since I learned from pictures and watching other videos, but none of those made the technique that clear. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!
Bonjour Michael, enfin une video indispensable pour bien débuter la pratique du Marudai. Video téléchargée afin que ma fille, 14 ans, puisse apprendre à utiliser son Marudai intelligemment. Il me tarde de voir d'autres vidéos, notamment sur la pratique du Kakudai, technique très peu documentée dans des livres. En France nous avons AUCUN livre en français sur ces différentes techniques japonaises de tressage. Un grand merci ;)
I am very new to kumihimo and the murudai. I very much appreciate Michael's demonstration as my first, and proper, way to handle the threads. Invaluable, and to be watched a few times before I actually have my murudai. Thank you.
Your videos have been so helpful and inspiring! Do you think you could eventually make one where you could share sets of movements for a more complex pattern than the typical simple 8-16 cord patterns found online? I can't seem to find any traditional ones like that
Hi, does anyone know how I can source japanese premium silk threads at whole sale prices? I am a recent graduate form Central st. Martins in London in jewellery design and need to cut costs to sell to the public. Thank you! Fortuna
Would you have any suggestion from whom I should buy a Marudai? From what I have found there seems to be only one company, on EBay, that has the market. Are these mostly made from one company or are there several companies I can look at? The company says these are made in the U.S. I live in the U.S., in Georgia. If you feel you can offer me some help on buying one, but prefer not to show it on CZcams, just send me a message where I can send you my email address. I would so very much appreciate your help.

Thank you, Michael. Such a beautiful, almost meditative, technique.
