Delicate handwork in a small cotton ball

In Japan, aristocratic women used to play with Temari, handmade handballs. Although we do not see such a scene now, The manufacturing process of them is carefully passed down from generation to generation.

The cotton threads are dyed with plants and trees, and each stitch which envelope the Temari warmly is creating a kaleidoscope of beauty. You can feel the warmth and richness born from the blessings of nature and handwork.

The Sanuki Kagari Temari atelier preserves the culture of Temari, which is disappearing from daily life, and adds new charm to it as a craft. We propose a new way to enjoy Temari in everyday life.

Originally, most Temaris are brightly colored, but to enjoy the exquisite patterns, we have prepared Temaris in solid colors for sale exclusively through By Emotion International.

Harvest yellow

A 92-faceted looped pattern in yellow dyeing. It is an auspicious motif that expresses the luckiness of things going well or continuing indefinitely.

Pure white
