What is Temari? Temari balls are a folk art form and Japanese craft, originating in China and introduced to Japan around the 7th century A.D. "Temari" means "hand ball" in Japanese. Balls made from embroidery may be used in handball games and other such similar games. An accessory similar in appearance, but with the addition of a hand-strap and a tassel, can serve as an accessory for a kimono or a kimomo bag. You can also make smaller version for a pair of earrings!
