How did Katchu-Shi have the tassels created for Agemakifusa and Sodefusa? More appropriately, how were these tassels created by Japanese craftsmen for the the purpose of use on yoroi and kacchu? Were thes cords created by way of kumihimo? I ask that someone with knowledge of this matter educate me, please.

I can see how the kumihimo is made, but what is more suitable for Agemakifusa and Sode fusa: Hakkumi or Yurugi Kumihimo?

Like I said, i think it's connected to this set of video's on Youtube. I saw it somewhere on there but didn't bookmark it. You will need to investigate further.
Just to note, round and flat braid are made differently.

I already knew that hira ito is not created the same as maru ito.
In any event, seeing as reproducing dou maru is labor intensive and is going to take me years to make anyway, I may as well learn kumihimo as well, and purchase the silk necessary for it. Thank you for your insigt and direction.
