"Japanese balls"

A piece of millennia-old Japanese craftsmanship that I brought back from the land of the rising sun. I was able to gain a little insight into the production of these breathtaking balls. The perfection and tradition in every detail never ceases to fascinate me.

The history of the balls is fascinating and goes back a long way. Originally created in China, they found their way to Japan, where they became an important part of Japanese culture and craft tradition.

They were first mentioned in Japan in the 7th century. At first they were simple, hand-made toys made from old textiles and fabric scraps. Later they developed into elaborate handicrafts. The balls were often passed down from mothers to their daughters and symbolized love and bonding in the family.

The balls' intricate patterns and colorful design reflect the craftsmanship and artistic skill of Japanese culture. Today, they are often given as gifts on festive occasions such as New Years or weddings and serve as good luck charms.

The production process requires patience and precision. Each ball tells its own story and carries the tradition and craftsmanship of the past into the present.

These balls are more than just works of art - they carry the soul of Japanese tradition within them. If you are interested in having a piece of this fascinating history in your home, do not hesitate to contact me.
