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.

Everyone's favorite Hotaru glass strap charm

Hotaru glass bead charms are very popular as souvenirs from Okinawa.

There are very few items which are so easy to give. I have received so many happy reviews from people who were so happy to receive these.

It can be used not only as a cell phone charm, but also as a decoration for various pouches and bag handles.

All Hotaru beads of this size I use are "glow in the dark" types. It stores sunlight and glows like a firefly after sunset. It's very romantic.

If you have a netsuke stick, you can use it as an obi (kimono belt) decoration. Many people purchase them in pairs.
