Sanuki Temari Box G272

Order via Japan Rabbit

The Sanuki Temari Box Kousahana brings handcrafted Japanese elegance to your decor in a compact gift set. Inside a white paper box decorated with a white noshi paper wrapper, you will find a central temari ball embroidered with an intersecting flower pattern alongside smaller accent balls. Every piece is crafted using soft cotton thread dyed with natural plants and trees, giving each ornament a gentle tone and a beautifully rounded form.

Sanuki Kagari Temari represents a historic craft tradition from Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. Historically made as toys and decorative charms, these embroidered balls are painstakingly built around a core of rice husks wrapped in thin paper. Artisans stitch colorful threads across the surface to form geometric patterns, creating timeless art objects for modern homes.

The central temari ball measures approximately 4.5 cm in diameter with a 15 cm circumference, while the smaller temari measure between 1.5 cm and 1.9 cm. The outer display box measures 6.7 cm long by 12.6 cm wide by 6.7 cm high. Standard gift wrapping is available for a small fee. Because the inner core contains rice husks and the threads are naturally dyed, keep the set in a dry place away from moisture, handle the soft threads gently, and note that colors may soften slightly over time.
