Love for all ages. Including - love for needlework. In order to be convinced of this, it is enough to look at the stunningly beautiful collection of temari balls, which was embroidered by a 92-year-old grandmother.
The first part of the unique collection was presented to the audience by the Japanese designer NanaAkua. It was her grandmother who embroidered decorative balls in her free time all her life. At that time, there were 468 exhibits, which the woman had been creating for 30 years.
The very art of "temari" originated in the 7th century AD in China, from where it moved to Japan after a few decades. Initially, the balls were trimmed with kimono pieces and were intended to be played. After some time, Japanese needlewomen turned the balls into a real work of art, competing with each other in the sophistication of embroidery.
Today temari balls have become a rarity, and you can find them only in museums and at thematic exhibitions. However, modern Japanese designers plan to revive a long-forgotten art form by introducing young people to needlework. Those who cannot master the embroidery of the ball the first time can be advised to start by decorating shirts, as the Japanese needlewoman Hiroko Kubota did, embroidering all of her son's shirts with images of kittens.
