The Origins of the Kaga-Temari


Kanazawa is a city with a long history expanding over more than 400 years,
and marked by traditional arts and crafts that are intrinsically bound with every day life in this oasis of culture.

The Kaga-Temaris, also named the gPrincesses Handballsh have been made since the early Edo period(1600). Unfortunately, these elegant toys have been in decline since the increase of the use of rubber balls in the Taisho era(1912-1926).
