The Karabiner, an indispensable tool for adventurers to climb, was inspired by Mikia's typical motif, Snake Beads, and became the Mikia Karabiner. Iga braid is used for the band part. Iga braid is a traditional handicraft of Japan, consisting mainly of silk and silver threads, and hand-assembled into a bundle of threads. Braids have a long history, and simpler braids were used than in the Jomon period. Braids evolve over time, from practical to decorative. At present, it is inherited as kimono obi straps and haori strings.
