Otedama (Japanese Juggling and Jacks Game) Sets Available
posted by avlor on Sat, 2009-04-25 19:43
I’ve started offering otedama sets again. The first of the improved sets is a cute spring green, white, and eggplant purple with tiny flowers, geometric shapes and ginkgo leaves. If you’re not familiar with otedama - it’s a traditional Japanese juggling and jacks type game.
Otedama set available for sale here.
I made small sets for my child’s class, and found making the sets and playing the game quite addictive.
Traditionally the bean bags are filled with beans, but I used stone in case the bags got wet. (Case in point - I gave a set to a friend. The first time trying her set, she plopped a bean bag into her drink. So to make sure the bags last and can be gently washed, I used a natural material that could get wet.)
Other colors and patterns available upon request. <(^.^)>

Since I've sold every otedama set that I've listed in the last year, I started a little etsy store dedicated to them. Nice break from always working on stationery. ;) The new store is Ojami at http://ojami.etsy.com.
The current set I'm working on is pink and green pastel with magenta accents and has a bunny as the larger bean bag for the Hawaiian version of the game.
Here's a picture of the post popular set I have in the store right now.
