making of glassbeads

produced by TONBODAMA HISAO

The method of manufacturing was secret.There are few craftsmen can　make them with changing the way of life recently.

TAMA is Japanses beads. It's the same thing as
TONBODAMA

It is the glassbeads (TONBODAMA) that "TONBODAMA HISAO" is reproducting now.

We usualy think of glass as transparent, but after put mineral ore into it, that become colored glass.

When the colored glass melting, I work the glassparts and bury them.

This is 1.5centimeters across in diameter.

there is a hole we can let in a lope.

It's used as NETUKE,KANZASHI.
