Old mari / ���@�{�@

I found this old mari at Yahoo auction in Japan. The seller was an antique shop at Kyoto. I thought this should be over 200years old. The seller also had same idea from the insight. I talked with Takahara sensei who is the vice president of JTA and she is stitching temari since Ozaki Chiyoko sensei was president of JTA. She told me that she never seen such a kind of old big one before.. I am so lucky to have this temari. I always think who was the owner of this temari. The case and stand should be made for this temari. This japanese word is so rare to find.. Everyting is so mysterious to me..
