Indigo Batik, Twill and Gold Fish Otedama (Set of 6)

Description

Otedama is a traditional Japanese juggling and jacks type game played with bean bags.

Deep indigo hues with batik and twill give this set real visual appeal! The large bean bag (the kini) has contrasting fabric of carefully selected goldfish pieces from the Heather Ross Lightning Bugs collection.

Otedama sets make great office and desk toys!

Included are bean bags for both styles of otedama that I have seen. (Juggling with sets of 3 or more bags of the same size. And a jacks type version with 2 small and 1 larger.) I'll tuck a set of instructions in for the jacks type game.

I made small sets (of the jacks version) for my child's class, and found making the sets and playing the game quite addictive. After playing the jacks version, I found that it helped to have the larger bean bag a different color or pattern. I hope this also helps you as you play.

The beanbags (aka ojami) are filled with beans, the traditional filling for otedama sets. Bean filled sets are much lighter than my stone filled sets and thus cheaper to ship!

Other colors and patterns available upon request.
