Beads Ring

My friend gave me the rings of the beads which herself made.


She made it reflecting the image of the flowers which she watched this year.  I am glad even if I get the ring from anyone.  I will put on this ring when meet her next time.




 This is the necklace which I made with beads.
The white beads were kinds same as her beads.




I think that she is surely surprised and pleased with coincidence.

Craftsmanship

I got the gift.  It's a very stylish box.

 “What will come out?”I opened while imagining the contents.






 “Cocoons? Silkworms? Insects?”I shrank involuntarily.



 That's Kuzuyu (kudzu starch gruel)!!!
I put a cocoon in a teacup and dissolved it with hot water.





The completion.  It is like the jelly which is sweet and warm.  The body warms.  It is one of the pleasure of winter. 


Anyway, I was surprised at cocoons.  A thing made in Japan is not only food and is made to be sometimes surprised to be too elaborate.
