I have always had somewhat of an interest and fascination with Japanese tradition, and I think if you admire Temari, somewhere inside you might too be a bit interested in seeing more about Japanese arts, crafts and life. Here are a few links to portals or pages that will take you to interesting places......

M'Dori - Creative HandCrafted Japanese Gifts
Japan Resources
Eastwind Art -an American Company but good
J Guide - Stanford University Guide to Japan
Explore Japan
Kyoto Kimono - kimonos, clothing and fabric
Japan Information Network
Michi Online -  Sponsored by the Sennin Foundation, Inc., which is a federally tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation. A resource for everyone interested in Japan's arts and methods of personal growth as well as the home of perhaps the world's first electronic journal of the Japanese cultural arts. We hope you'll join us in exploring the world of Japanese arts, meditation, and culture.
