Hi Russell,
Places as carry small cord generally, as Fabric Stores, or
small cords of asian
provinance, should have something suitable.
My recollection, whatever the cord may be called in the
application of being the thing as ties on a Tea Bowl Box,
is...that
it is simply a general purpose small cord, and tended to be
any number of kinds of
small cord or as had maybe some smallish tassles even,
basted on to the ends.
The handfull of such boxes I have seen did not
all have the same exact kinds of cords anyway...
Some are as tiny "rope" and some are as a Shoe-Lace being
woven and hollow...
Some are as a flat 'tape' even, and some are as 'string'...
My recollections are that they may be about any color too...

I'm finding kumihimo but I think that that is the name of the weaving
art for creating ropes.
I'm also looking for a supplier, either on line or were I might be able
to order from a catalogue

Russel,
I think the cord that ties up the box (tomobako) is called "kumihimo."
Kumihimo may be just the type of cord and not some specific name for the=
cord that ties up a tomobako.
This is based on some research I've done on my blog...but I'd like to hea=
r
from anyone who actully knows :-)
