これぞ (Temari Ball), the beauty of traditional Japanese handicrafts!

Temari ball is a traditional Japanese folk art. In the old days, it was made of an old kimono and other materials. Originally, it was a toy. Later, it gradually evolved into an embroidery process, with more exquisite patterns and colors, and became a traditional folk art.

Japan's modern technology and economy are highly developed in the world, but the traditional Temari has never been inferior, so that this traditional handicraft handed down from generation to generation has become a high-grade handicraft and noble gift integrating embroidery, weaving and composition, which has been popular all over the world since Japan.

The modern Japanese Temari is the best made in Jizhou, Japan, and has become an elegant gift, a legendary token, which has never been given to the most predestined friends.

Superstitious Japanese believe that there is a kind of "rice grain" living in Temari, which is what we call fox spirit. So when you are sick, put it on a pillow, or when you feel dangerous when you go out, the Japanese will take it with you or use it at home.

It is said that when the master is in danger or attacked by an alien spirit, the "Tao He" who is afraid of death will definitely jump out to save the life of the savior in order to protect himself. Therefore, in ancient times, this traditional Temari embodies the care of lovers, the expectation of relatives and the blessing of close friends, and is only given to those who love it the most.

A Japanese grandmother started making Temari meatballs at the age of 60, and she was 93 years old at the age of 20 14. She's still making Temarii meatballs. Up to now, she has made more than 500 balls, each of which is exquisite.
