A Spectacular collection of embroidered traditional Japanese Temari and balls by a 92-year old Japanese woman has amazed the world with her spectacular collection of embroidered traditional Japanese Temari handballs. We may never have seen them if not for her granddaughter, Flickr user NanaAkua, who posted photos of the entire collection on her profile. The small-toothed grandmother learned this technique in the 60s and, since then, her collection of large handmade Tamari has grown into about 500 different pieces.

This Japanese craft originated in China and has been stitched by parents and grandparents as a traditional New Year’s gift since the 7th century. NanaAkua’s grandmother’s collection is impressive with its hyper-detailed patterns, interesting structural compositions, and vivid colors.
