Temari balls were popular among females during the Edo period, and, given as souvenirs during the time when major feudal lords alternated Edo residences, their popularity spread throughout all regions. It is said that Matsue’s temari balls were first made by Matsue Domain’s lords’ women-in-waiting. Temari-making started here, then using Shimane’s handmade washi, Izumo folkcraft paper, Matsue washi temari were made. These temari balls, made colorful by using embroidery thread, indigo-dyed thread, and pieces of washi paper, are pretty beyond comparison. Also, in addition to washi-temari, we will be making ai- temari using Hirosegasuri’s indigo-dyed thread. The geometric pattern made with five different shades of color in indigo-dyed thread is unlike no other, and the appearance changes according to the order in which the thread is used. These temari-making experiences are only possible here. We invite you to enjoy the experience of becoming absorbed in working the indigo-dyed thread and also the experience of creating patterns from the pieces of washi.
