Soft cotton threads dyed with natural plant colors wrap into the intricate Shippo Asanoha geometric pattern of this Sanuki Kagari Temari ornament. Its gentle hues and satisfyingly round shape bring a quiet touch of hand-stitched warmth to any room.
Temari are traditional Japanese craft balls, historically created from thread scraps and now celebrated worldwide as art objects. The Sanuki Kagari tradition from Kagawa prefecture elevates this folk craft through precise embroidery, natural botanical dyes, and traditional core construction.
This new handcrafted piece measures about 6.5 cm in diameter, built around a core of rice husks wrapped in thin paper. It arrives packaged in a white paper box measuring 8.6 cm on each side, complete with a white noshi wrap. Because it uses natural plant dyes and a rice husk core, keep this fine thread artwork away from moisture and handle it with gentle care.
