Hotaru Glass beads are popular as a souvenir from Okinawa along with Ryukyu glass. They are the same as the Tonbo glass beads made by Takashi Hirose, and are artisan glass crafts. Glass is melted with a burner using skillful techniques to create beautiful beads with many layers. The method of making is called burner work or lamp work. Venetian glass beads are made in the same way. The feature is that silver leaves are put in the beads during firing, so they reflect light and sparkle.
Hotaru glass bookmark hair-stick
Hotaru bead bookmark which is a perfect gift for book lovers.
After I started selling, I noticed that customers told me. “Is this a kanzashi?”, “Can it be used as an obi decoration?”
Several customers asked, “Is this a hair stick?”, “Can it be used as a kimono obi decoration?”
Of course, you can use it however you like! The size of the metal stick is a good size for many uses. If you use it as a bookmark, it is good for a paperback book or a notebook.
You can use it as a hair stick. I recommend you make a hair bun in a high position and use it.
Please be careful not to damage the obi (kimono belt) with the corners of the metal parts. The gesture of opening a book, taking out a bookmark, and quickly inserting it into the obi is very cool.
All Hotaru beads of this size I use are all "glow in the dark" types. It stores sunlight and glows like a firefly after sunset. It's very romantic.
