The Sanuki Kagari Temari Firefly Flower brings delicate Japanese craftsmanship into your living space with its rich round shape and comforting, plant-dyed hues. Temari are traditional Japanese embroidered balls, historically made as protective gifts and artistic decorations. This craft from Kagawa uses soft cotton thread dyed with natural botanical materials, giving each piece a gentle appearance that ages gracefully over time.
Inside this ornament is a traditional core made of rice husks and thin paper, bound with carefully wrapped cotton thread. It measures approximately 6.5 cm in diameter, with a circumference of around 20 cm. The piece comes presented in a white paper box wrapped with a white noshi paper strip, measuring 8.6 cm by 8.6 cm by 8.6 cm. Optional gift wrapping in three distinct styles is available for an additional fee of 220 yen, though outer noshi wrapping is not offered.
Because the cotton threads are dyed with natural plant materials, colors may fade slightly over time depending on exposure and storage. The natural rice husk core requires protection from water and high humidity to keep it in prime condition. Handle this handcrafted ornament gently to keep the fine threads intact. Color shades may vary slightly depending on your viewing display.
