KOUTEMARI, Sanuki kagari temari

The Sanuki Kagari Temari Preservation Association is investigating the potential of temari, and its members are actively pioneering new applications. Forms of temari that will make delightful gifts have been proposed. For example, small temari attached to a string can be made into personal accessories and, with fragrant wood chips as its core, a temari can become a perfumed ball. These efforts are giving rise to a new group of fans and are raising interest in temari.
