Temari are a folk-art form that originated in China and was introduced to Japan five or six hundred years ago. "Temari" means "handball" (Te is hand and Mari is ball). Sometimes called a “mother’s love ball” in its most recent history, temari were toy balls made for very young children, containing “noisemakers” to add to the play value. Today, temari are a traditional New Year’s Day gifts for children.
