I have always had somewhat of an interest and fascination with Japanese tradition, and I think if you admire Temari, somewhere inside you might too be a bit interested in seeing more about Japanese arts, crafts and life. Here are a few links to portals or pages that will take you to interesting places......

M'Dori - Creative HandCrafted Japanese Gifts
Japan Resources(日本について）
Eastwind Art -an American Company but good（日本の布、パターン、アート）
J Guide - Stanford University Guide to Japan（スタンフォード大学ガイド）
Explore Japan（日本を探索）
Kyoto Kimono（京都、着物） - kimonos, clothing and fabric（着物、服、布）
Japan Information Network（ネットワーク）
Michi Online“道”オンライン -  Sponsored by the Sennin Foundation, Inc., which is a federally tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation. A resource for everyone interested in Japan's arts and methods of personal growth as well as the home of perhaps the world's first electronic journal of the Japanese cultural arts. We hope you'll join us in exploring the world of Japanese arts, meditation, and culture.（日本のアート）
