Originating in the Edo period, Kagawa temari balls began as handmade toys and protective charms, lovingly stitched by mothers from silk threads to gift their daughters. Characterized by vivid embroidery in geometric patterns, they symbolize good fortune and completeness. Over time, temari have transcended their role as simple toys, evolving into exquisite works of textile artistry that fuse tradition with aesthetic refinement.
