There are not many craftsmen in the world who can produce such iron kettles made of iron sand. Because Japan was closed off from the rest of the world in the past, there was more iron sand than iron, which led to the development of Japan's own iron sand processing method.\u003cbr\u003eAs a result, the wonderful technique of processing iron sand, which is difficult to handle as a material, has been inherited to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Japan, there is a long-held belief that gods reside in things and nature. Many high mountains have become objects of worship, and Mt. Fuji, the tallest and most beautiful mountain in Japan, is a good example. Horses have also historically been known as vehicles for people of high status and gods. In warfare, people built a relationship of trust with horses and fought together with them on a daily basis.\u003cbr\u003eHorses were thought to bring \"good things\" to people, such as victory, benefits, and income.

Inheriting the items used by grandparents and parents and using them for a long time will bring memories of those who have used them.

Initially, these beads were highly prized as exotic treasures and were used as decorative items or in jewelry, symbolizing wealth and status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe production and popularity of tombodama saw significant growth during the Edo period (1603-1868), where skilled artisans began to develop and refine various techniques for making these intricate glass beads. The methods included melting colored glass rods to wrap around a metal rod, creating a bead which could then be embellished with additional layers of glass to form patterns, often floral or geometric. These beads were not only used in jewelry but also incorporated into kimono accessories and as part of samurai garment decorations, reflecting their widespread appeal across different classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Meiji period (1868-1912) introduced Western influences and technologies, further enriching the art of tombodama making. Artisans experimented with new glass types and techniques, enhancing the quality and variety of designs. However, the advent of modernization and changing fashion trends led to a decline in traditional tombodama production by the mid-20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recent decades, there has been a revival of interest in tombodama, driven by a renewed appreciation for traditional crafts and cultural heritage. Artisans, both in Japan and around the world, continue to preserve and innovate upon the ancient techniques, producing beads that are cherished for their historical significance as well as their artistic beauty. Today, tombodama are not only valuable collectibles but also serve as a symbol of Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities, bridging the past with the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eShigeki Fujimura \/ Fujimura Tombodama Studio\u003cbr\u003eIn the present day, the majority of tombodama (Japanese glass beads) are made using modern equipment such as gas or oil burners and lamps, utilizing pre-made glass.

Initially, these beads were highly prized as exotic treasures and were used as decorative items or in jewelry, symbolizing wealth and status.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe production and popularity of tombodama saw significant growth during the Edo period (1603-1868), where skilled artisans began to develop and refine various techniques for making these intricate glass beads. The methods included melting colored glass rods to wrap around a metal rod, creating a bead which could then be embellished with additional layers of glass to form patterns, often floral or geometric. These beads were not only used in jewelry but also incorporated into kimono accessories and as part of samurai garment decorations, reflecting their widespread appeal across different classes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Meiji period (1868-1912) introduced Western influences and technologies, further enriching the art of tombodama making. Artisans experimented with new glass types and techniques, enhancing the quality and variety of designs. However, the advent of modernization and changing fashion trends led to a decline in traditional tombodama production by the mid-20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recent decades, there has been a revival of interest in tombodama, driven by a renewed appreciation for traditional crafts and cultural heritage. Artisans, both in Japan and around the world, continue to preserve and innovate upon the ancient techniques, producing beads that are cherished for their historical significance as well as their artistic beauty. Today, tombodama are not only valuable collectibles but also serve as a symbol of Japanese craftsmanship and aesthetic sensibilities, bridging the past with the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eShigeki Fujimura \/ Fujimura Tombodama Studio\u003cbr\u003eIn the present day, the majority of tombodama (Japanese glass beads) are made using modern equipment such as gas or oil burners and lamps, utilizing pre-made glass. However, when it comes to restoring especially ancient beads, the limitations of using pre-made colored glass become apparent. Shigeki Fujimura's Tombodama Workshop adheres to the traditional methods of the Edo period, as intended by the predecessor, creating colored glass from scratch and finishing the beads entirely with charcoal fire.

In Japan, they began to be used during the mid-Heian period, around the 10th century, where they were referred to as han (seal) or kakihan (written seal).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eBy the 11th century, styles had evolved to include designs called nigōtai (two-character combinations), which were decorative forms created by merging the two kanji of a person’s real name. Another variation known as ichijitai (single-character style) also emerged, which used only one character from the name. A shared feature among these styles was that the Kaoh was always based on the user’s name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eDuring the Kamakura period, as samurai began to write more documents, the use of Kaoh increased. The Kaoh used by the warrior class were called bukeyō, in contrast to those used by the aristocracy, known as kugyōyō.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eIn the Sengoku period, Kaoh were not necessarily based on the actual names of individuals. Some people began to inherit the Kaoh of their fathers, while in other cases, a Kaoh came to symbolize a specific rank or status. Even today, the Prime Minister of Japan uses a Kaoh as a mark of official authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eBy the Edo period, the use of Kaoh began to decline, especially among commoners such as farmers. In their place, personal seals (hanko) became more widespread. With the Meiji government’s proclamation that documents without official seals would not be recognized in court, the use of Kaoh was significantly reduced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCraftsman Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Profile\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eSuiun Arikawa\u003cbr\u003eOver the past 32 years, I have devoted myself to extensive training and experiences in the art of calligraphy.\u003cbr\u003eWhile managing a calligraphy school, I now apply the knowledge and techniques I have cultivated—along with my deep understanding of Chinese characters—to the authentic design of Kaoh, a tradition with over a thousand years of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCraftsman Passion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eJoy of Writing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eThrough “Joy of Writing”, my mission is to bring a richer life, greater self-confidence, and love to the world.\u003cbr\u003eAs a concrete activity, I am dedicated to sharing \"Kaoh\", a treasured Japanese cultural tradition with a history spanning over a thousand years, with the world and passing it on to the next generation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/6621\/9493\/files\/DSC04499.jpg?v=1753934231\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYour Contribution to Craftsman\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomer Voice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eDue to the market structure (link for full articles are attached bottom), craftsman have not known who the customer is and how customer reacts to their work.
