PRODUCERS
Ohajiki Sewing Pins - Plants Beads Works/Kokubunji City, Tokyo
Established in Kokubunji, Tokyo in 2011.
While creating various forms of glasswork, the artisan came to learn that in old days some people used to carry an Ohajiki as an amulet to expel evil spirits away, so he became interested in Ohajiki as a subject of his creation. Since then, his creation has been mainly focused on making original Ohajiki.
Ohajiki motif glass bead heads have distinctive delicate patterns with gentle colors.
The unique patterns of Ohajiki are determined in flames with true craftsmanship.
