Why don't you make your one and only Temari in the world?
She usually runs a glasses shop, but for everyone's benefit, Grandma Yasue will teach you how to make them for those who come to Kurashiki!
Temari has long been a favorite folk craft of Kurashiki.

5.00This is a great workshop for learning the basics of designing patterns and decorating a temari. We learned about how patterns are designed based on the number of "wedges"/hemispheres that the sphere is divided into, selecting colors, adjusting the design for different thread weights, etc.
