▶Craftsman Profile
Shigeki Fujimura / Fujimura Tombodama Studio
In the present day, the majority of tombodama (Japanese glass beads) are made using modern equipment such as gas or oil burners and lamps, utilizing pre-made glass. However, when it comes to restoring especially ancient beads, the limitations of using pre-made colored glass become apparent. Shigeki Fujimura's Tombodama Workshop adheres to the traditional methods of the Edo period, as intended by the predecessor, creating colored glass from scratch and finishing the beads entirely with charcoal fire. It is the only workshop that continues to replicate and preserve these ancient techniques. The depth of the colors achieved through this traditional method emits the cherished brilliance loved by people in ancient times.

▶Craftsman Passion
"Creating exceptional products with a commitment to the beauty of the ancient world without ceasing to be beautiful."
We produce all of our dragonfly beads by hand, one by one, using a traditional method that has been in use since the Edo period.
Please enjoy the deep coloring unique to the traditional crafting method.
