Kumi's

Pine Needle Basketry

About Kumi

Born in Osaka , Japan.   Lives in the US since 1980.
 
Kumi likes craft things, and tried many craft works available around her since she was child.
 
After her retirement from work, she met pine needle basket, felt in love with it, and she has been making a lot of items with pine needles since then.
​
She also tries other craft works whenever they are available,
​
She has published two basketry books in Japanese,
"Pine needle basketry - basic" in April, 2018, and

These books are the first pine needle basketry books written in Japanese.
