They are small, decorative balls made from tightly wrapped colored threads. The word "temari" means "handball" in Japanese, and these balls were initially created as toys for children. However, over time, the craft evolved into an intricate art form. Temari balls are often given as gifts and are considered a symbol of good luck and friendship in Japanese culture. They are often displayed as decorations in homes and can also be used as pincushions or small decorative objects. #18
