Ojime
75% Off All Ojime!
This category includes our own line of Ojime-inspired but Bali-carved ojime beads and pendants. Ojime originated in Japan and were designed to work in conjunction with netsuke to allow the Japanese person to hang items from a sash around their kimono (diagram). These ojime served an everyday function, but were extensively carved and decorated. In their day, people surely made fashion statements through their ojime. It is their beauty that explains why ojime are collected today by so many individuals.
Many ojime beads available today are reproductions of antique ojime; others are original works inspired by the tradition. Few are actually made in Japan .
Our ojime come from the minds of some of Bali's most creative wood and bone carvers and reflect the Indonesian and Balinese culture and environment of their creators.
