Important Notes regarding Inro Cord:

Colors may vary slightly from dye lot to dye lot, especially in the hand-woven silk. Cord thickness may also vary slightly in each style. These are occasionally noted as a. and b. under the number.
A variety of single lengths in other colors and thicknesses, as well as some longer and shorter pieces of some of the above cords, may be available from time to time.
Longer lengths of some of the machine-woven cords (#14, #61, #86) may be available by special order.
Please add $10 to each order for postage and packing.

Footnotes

The common pre-cut five-foot length of standard thickness inro cord provides more than enough cord to string a normal size inro, and tie the classic three loop knot; as well as allowing enough cord for stringing the ojime and tying the netsuke at the end.

Most of the hand-woven Japanese silk cord is made by a family in Japan that has been weaving various silk cord products for seven generations in the same shop/home.

For more information on tying the appropriate knots for inro and about the cord, read my publication: "The Inro Knot: A step by step illustrated guide to tying different knots for hanging medicine boxes". $5.
