A Touch of Japanese Tradition in Your Hands
For centuries, “mari” (Japanese embroidered balls) have been cherished in Japan. Their colorful patterns are more than just playthings—they symbolize happiness, harmony, and good fortune.
My handmade Mari Keychains capture that tradition in a small, palm-sized form. Each one is carefully crafted, with unique patterns and colors that will never be the same twice. Compact yet eye-catching, these keychains make a charming Japanese accent for your bag or keys.
