During the Heian Period, Japan developed its own graceful and diverse knots that were used widely by aristocrats. Knots were also used to ward off evil in shrines and temples, as well as above the sumo wrestling ring, which is considered sacred. From old times, people believed that gods live in knots.\u003cbr\u003eIn Japanese decorative knotting, kumihimo (braided rope), a traditional craft of Japan, is used. It is made of several threads braided together and is strong. Due to its braided structure that scatters light at various angles, it has a characteristic shiny look.\u003cbr\u003eIn modern life, we seldom have a chance to see decorative knots.

This comes from the culture of valuing something that is long and continuous, and avoiding discontinuity or interruption, for example with relationships and personal contact.

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;\"\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;\"\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.

Raden was used not only for interior furnishings but also for architectural decorations, and remained popular until the Kamakura period (1185-1333).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the Kamakura period, raden became popular as saddle decoration, and in the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573-1600), raden grew dramatically as an industry through trade with Europe.\u003cbr\u003eFurniture and coffee cups were made for export by combining maki-e and raden, and these were highly valued as luxury items by Europeans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom this period to the Edo period (1603-1867), the technique was particularly well developed and shells were dyed, and were widely used for furnishings, ornaments, sword fittings, and other items.\u003cbr\u003eRaden remained popular in the Edo period (1603-1867), but as trade with Europe was curtailed by national isolation, mother-of-pearl inlays continued to be made by mother-of-pearl inlay craftsmen for domestic use in Japan.\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;\"\u003eSaga Raden Nomura \/ Takuya Nomura\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Kyoto in 1987.
