    ▶Craftsman Profile
    Shigeki Fujimura / Fujimura Tombodama Studio
    In the present day, the majority of tombodama (Japanese glass beads) are made using modern equipment such as gas or oil burners and lamps, utilizing pre-made glass. However, when it comes to restoring especially ancient beads, the limitations of using pre-made colored glass become apparent. Shigeki Fujimura's Tombodama Workshop adheres to the traditional methods of the Edo period, as intended by the predecessor, creating colored glass from scratch and finishing the beads entirely with charcoal fire. It is the only workshop that continues to replicate and preserve these ancient techniques. The depth of the colors achieved through this traditional method emits the cherished brilliance loved by people in ancient times.
    ▶Craftsman Passion
    "Creating exceptional products with a commitment to the beauty of the ancient world without ceasing to be beautiful."
    We produce all of our dragonfly beads by hand, one by one, using a traditional method that has been in use since the Edo period.
    Please enjoy the deep coloring unique to the traditional crafting method.

    This necklace is made of jade-colored dragonfly beads. It is threaded through a leather cord and the size can be adjusted. It uses the flower-patterned dragonfly beads that are representative of the work of Tombo Dama Studio Fujimura. Crystal glass is used for the glass, and it has the unique weight and glittering beauty of crystal glass.
    Charcoal is used throughout the entire process, from the production of the glass fabric to the wrapping of the colored glass around the glass core and the application of the patterned parts.
    The natural temperature fluctuations brought by the charcoal fire create depth, resulting in unique, charming, and expressive dragonfly beads.
    The texture is also one of the characteristic of this craft, and by increasing the ratio of pigments, the contrast of the patterns is enhanced, resulting in a thick, rich color.

    I think beads are greatly underestimated. They go back in time forever. We can trace their geographical and economic history and geography through beads. I love them to bits and regret that most people don’t recognise what intricate workmanship goes into them.

    A lot of people say that RUclips is a waste of time and I'd beg to differ. I've done a lot of jobs in my life. But I've never seen the process of making colored bead glass. It's amazing. I'm so glad I clicked on this video❤

      RUclips is also a kind of study method depending on how you use it. If you don't think it's a waste of time, I think it's a useful content. Please keep watching our videos.

    My wife and I were mesmerized. She makes bead necklaces, and sometimes I help her make them. The millefiori are my favorite. I imagine that 1,000 years ago a craftsman that could do this could make a very comfortable living. ;)

    • @susanfarley1332

      The man was having to make the glass he was going to use in making beads. From adding color to the glass to stretching it into rods of one color to making the rods with the design in the center, he was doing everything to prepare for just having the material to make the beads. Once all that is done, each bead will take around 30-40 minutes to complete. And as you can see he was able to make quite a few beads from the glass he prepared.
      After seeing the beads he made with the materials my estimate of the time it took to make the beads was off. If they were complicated beads it would be 30-40 minutes. These would have taken a shorter time. At least it would not have taken me that much time to make each of the beads he made. One of my focal beads which are very decorated would have taken 30-40 minutes. His beads, maybe 25 minutes. I was very impressed when he was making the glass rods he used to decorate his beads. Especially since he had to use primitive equipment. It is a very time consuming thing to make those rods with the decorative centers. Even with modern equipment it takes time. I am going to have to watch this video again because it is the first time I have seen the process of doing it with the equipment he was using and I might learn something new from it.

    What a fantastic skill! You could have an exhibition at the Japan House in São Paulo, Brazil. It was a pleasure to watch your video! I could smell the glass melting with the pigment, feel the heat of the kiln... The world needs beautiful things.
    (In the 1980s I studied jewellery with Enid Kaplan, who referred me to her Master Fujimura at his school in Florence. I worked with enamel for 20 years).
    All the best

    The glass beads feel wonderful when you run your fingertips over them...or indeed twist them around on their string...
    The gentle clinking of the glass sounds like a gentle breeze flowing through a windchime...
    I so enjoyed the "flowers opening up" when pressed...
    Wonderful craftsmanship altogether...
    Thank you Sir...

      I do not understand the people who say it is too expensive for such a small thing. I myself get 60€ per hour for my IT work IF I sell these hours(and i am the cheapest in my vicinity). So if you count the hours of work behind one bead, it is cheap. So I do not mean you, but everyone else who does not see that the price is reasonable.
