The traditional craft of making pouches from chirimen (silk crepe-traditional Japanese cloth with colorful patterns) has a history of several hundred years. These little pouches are made in the shape of flowers, birds, dolls and so on.
Around one hundred years ago, glass bottle magic, that making chirimen crafts and thread balls in the bottle like the bottle-ship, were loved by ladies.
This spring we display 500 items of lovely chirimen pouches and beautiful glass bottle magic made in Meiji era and restored by our museum members.
