Sanuki Kagari Temari embroidered hand balls
Temari are colorful balls made of thread, embroidered with flower and animal motifs. In old Japan, temari were popular as toys for young women and girls. Today they are prized as home decorations. Each region has its own distinctive tradition, and the style known as Sanuki Kagari Temari has been practiced for over 1,000 years in Kagawa’s Takamatsu City. Its distinctive feature is the exclusive use of natural plant dyes to color the yarn. Traditionally about 140 vibrant hues are employed, and we see how temari artist Eiko Araki is making use of subtle color gradation to create beautiful temari.
