Features of Beads Shop j4

1:An assortment of products focusing on color and accent beads

The colors and shapes that have not been seen in the market until now are highly advantageous as new proposals. We are also actively challenging new things, such as the "Kofudama" (beads made of kimono fabrics encased in resin), which were created in collaboration with a local specialty store in the area of Japanese goods.
