Thread Balls The tradition of Temari threadballs is centuries old and found in both, Chinese as well as Japanese cultures. It spans almost 1400 years and have transformed from play objects to objects of art, evolving from a rough, leather-ball foot game, to a child’s toy, to an opulent and courtly activity, then back to a children’s toy again, and finally, to an ornamental object of elaborate design once more.   This photo depicts Japanese Thread Balls
