Flakes of leaf gold shine in Tombodama...
- Leaf of gold shine with paticular brilliance -

Inspired by the belly of snake, so this Tombodama is called snake. However it'soft color and round shape reminds us of furin, Japanese wind bell. With Flakes of leaf gold scattered, Tombodama Neo Snake is particularly gorgeous.
- Totally well designed -
Fine color arrangement of Tombodama and netsuke string, totally well designed
Tombodama - "glass beads" in English - has its long history. It's originated in Mesopotamia. It was made for the purpose of exorcism and only high and noble people could have them.

t comes in a stylish glass tube. Very best for the special present.
In Japan, They were imported from Netherlands in the Edo era and became famous. Because this glass bead looks like a dragonfly's ("Tombo" in Japanese) eye, people started to call it "Tombodama". ("dama" means "ball")

All hand-made by Japanese professional artisan. Each one has its own beauty. Because it is made one by one, each one is slightly diffrent from the picture.
How to make Tombobada??

1. Melt down the glass rod and roll up it with the iron-core to make unique pattern. (This process makes the beauty of Tombodama!)

2.Make it in a good shape by heating and rolling over and over.
