Make a Star design temari ball to match the starry night sky.
According to legend, the Milky Way separates two lovers (represented by the stars Vega and Altair), and they are allowed to meet only once a year. Why not express your Tanabata wish through the Milky Way to the star crossed lovers by making a Temari ball ? Try it out if you are looking for a new hobby or just want to make a beautiful craft. Select from blue, black, or red to personalize your creation.
七夕に願いを込めて、天の川を挟んだ一等星(彦星と織姫)が輝く夜空を手毬で表現してみませんか。手毬を作ってみたい方、針仕事が好きな方、新しい趣味を見つけたい方、様々なきっかけで皆様にお会いできるのを楽しみにしています。
同日は日系ガーデンファーマーズマーケット(10時から2時)と七夕フリーマーケット(10時から3時)も同時開催中！
What is Temari?
Temari (手まり）is a folk craft originating from Japan around 1300 years ago. Traditionally made in the form of "hand balls" given from parents to children on New Year's day. They've become a popular and versatile gift item while remaining a refreshing toy for children to play with.
