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.

Luxurious Japanese style Charm (netsuke)

I love cats. When I saw this cat Czech bead, I had to use it for my work, and I had to make it very luxurious.

This charm is for cat lovers and ocean lovers.

The subtitle of this work is "Creeping Love". I love cats who send me lovey-dovey aura even when they are out of sight. Even if they sometimes pretend they don't care much, I can feel the love.

Czech cat beads look somewhat Japanese and European at the same time. (The cat's face is on both sides of the bead.)

Czech Republic cat glass beads look both Japanese and European. (The cat's face is on both sides of the beads.)

Genuine pearls from Ise-Shima bay (Mie pref) have an amazing luster.
Pearls for these charms are semi-round grade which have natural dimples and small scratches. However, at first glance, they look round. Ise-Shima Akoya pearls have a strong, slight pinkish luster, so you don't need to worry about a few dimples.

If you use this as a decoration for your obi (Kimono belt), shingen bag (Kimono bag), purse, or mobile phone case, I'm sure you will feel great.
Fantastic gift for cat lovers.
