Tombodama Glass Beads Hand-Made Cell Phone Strap Asuka Flower
Tombodama - "glass beads" in English - has its long history.
It's originated in Mesopotamia.
It was made for the purpose of exorcism and only high and noble people could have them.
It comes in a stylish glass tube.
Very best for the special present.
In Japan, they were imported from Netherlands in the Edo era and became famous.
Because this glass bead looks like a dragonfly's ("Tombo" in Japanese) eye, people started to call it "Tombodama" ("dama" means "ball").
All hand-made by Japanese professional artisan.
Each one has its own beauty.
Because it is made one by one, each one is slightly diffrent from the picture.
