“In this book Makiko Tada and her mother Aiko Sakai explain some marudai patterns, some kakudai patterns and some introduction level ayatakedai patterns. This edition is the English translation of the last volume from an out-of-print Nihon Vogue series on Kumihimo. The first two volumes have been combined into "Comprehensive Treatise of Braids Volume 1: Marudai Braids".
This book is as far as I know the only book in English explaining how to use the ayatakedai or the kakudai. There is another book by Makiko Tada and Aiko Sakai dedicated to the ayatakedai braiding, but it was never translated.”
