"Temari" means "hand ball" in Japanese. Balls were made from the remnants of old kimonos. Pieces of silk fabric would be wadded up to form a ball, and then embroidered. Traditionally, Temari were often given to children from their parents on New Year's Day. Inside the tightly wrapped layers of each ball, the mother would have placed a small piece of paper with a goodwill wish for her child. The child would never be told what wish their mother had made while making the ball.
"Temari" is Japanese folk art that originated in China and was introduced to Japan around the 7th century A.D.

Full description
Bring the exquisite beauty and ancient tradition of Japanese temari art to your Christmas tree this year. This stunning pair of handmade ornaments is inspired by the classic festive colours, reimagined through the lens of a cherished folk art.
Each ornament begins as polystyrene ball, meticulously hand-wrapped in layers of sewing thread to create a flawless, cushioned canvas. Then, using the silk thread, the intricate chrysanthemum motif - a symbol of longevity and joy in Japanese culture - is embroidered by hand. The result is a breathtaking masterpiece, rich in detail and artisan charm.
The set includes:
- One ornament: a brilliant red chrysanthemum with white and gold accents, blooming on a deep forest green background.
- One ornament: An olive green chrysanthemum with white and gold accents, elegantly displayed on a rich crimson background.
- Both ornaments are finished with a luxurious satin ribbon for hanging.
Presented in a beautifully origami-folded gift boxes, this set is perfect, ready to give treasure for the discerning decorator. It's a keepsake, a piece of art, and a wonderful conversation starter for your home.
