Cohana Glass Bead Marking Pins
$30.00
Trio of unique Japanese marking pins featuring traditionally handcrafted "tombo-dama" glass bead heads.
Used to mark positions on fabric when sewing, each pin is crafted by hand in a small factory in Hiroshima, a town reknowned for its glass making.
The ancient tombo-dama technique, established in the Nara period (from 710 A.D) is used to make each pin's floral design motif, known as "millefiori" meaning a thousand flowers.
Set of three superior quality pins, ensuring smooth sewing, each pin measures 35mm long. Tombo-dama beads measure 5mm diameter, pins are 0.5mm thick.
Each pack contains three different floral designs, randomly selected.
Beautifully packaged, a thoughtful heirloom gift for sewers and makers.
Handmade in Japan by Cohana.
