Temari balls are a form of Chinese and Japanese folk art in which small balls are embroidered with stunning patterns for play or decoration. Temari in Japanese means "hand ball", and originally these balls were designed to be used in hand ball games by children. Temari balls are highly valued gifts that symbolize deep friendship and loyalty, and the bright colors are a symbolic wish to the recipient of a brilliant and happy life. |
