Lilly Tsubaki shows the world how to create Otedama - a bean bag from her childhood - for the purpose of passing down knowledge and fun.
Otedama (御手玉) ／beanbag Japanese beanbags are made of colorful scraps of cloth and usually are filled with red azuki beans or rice. They are round and small enough to fit into the palm of a child's hand; some have bells attached. The beanbag game, traditionally played by girls, uses a set of five, seven, or nine beanbags. The complexity of the game ranges from simply juggling to performing various maneuvers with one or more of the other bags while one bag is in midair. An ancient game originally played with pebbles, it assumed its present form around the 17th century. Source: Kodansha Encyclopedia of Japan (1983)
