temari 手まり hand balls
They were a present at the birth of a girl and during the Hinamatsuri festival in March.
Special patterns were the chrysanthemum, plum blossom, pine needles or the hemp flower. The colors of the cotton threads were achieved with natural dyes. Now they are well-loved souvenir, rather than a toy for the girls.
