What are those Sakura?

Oh, that's cute.

I believe it is a tree made of spools and thread.

I wonder what's in the middle

An arts and craft project mon ami~!?

It is marudai and for making kumihimo braids.

Belarus01: In the middle is a weighted bag to make sure the threads will be tensed downwards while braiding.

FrancineB: That is correct. It will look like this when finished:

That looks beautiful~! What do you use it for mon ami~!?

In the past it was used for decorating samurai's armor and vestments, but now it is for tying jackets and obi.

And I think other people do this to make bracelets and necklaces as well. It has found many uses in modern times.

Could you make one for me and my dolls?

sounds complicated
