I Captured The Mysterious Glowing Sea In Japan

This is what happens on the earth. In spring, but not every year, bioluminescent firefly squid illuminate the Toyama Bay, Japan.

As I live in the city, you may think it is easy for me to encounter the phenomena, but it’s not. For once in my life I succeeded in capturing the stunning show. Even with recent science, nobody can explain when and why the squid come together to show us the marvel.

92-Year-Old Grandma Shares 30 Years of Embroidered Temari Balls

NanaAkua is a graphic designer and illustrator from Japan. Back in 2009 she uploaded an incredible 468-picture gallery on Flickr that featured the amazing embroidery work of her then 88-year-old grandmother over a span of 30 years.
Her grandmother practices a folk art form known as Temari. Meaning ‘hand ball’ in Japanese, the art form was introduced to Japan by China around the 7th century A.D. Traditionally, Temari are highly valued and cherished gifts, symbolizing deep friendship and loyalty. The brilliant colors and threads used are symbolic of wishing the recipient a brilliant and happy life.
The embroidery work is highly detailed and challenging but if you’re interested in trying it out or learning more there’s a great step-by-step introduction guide on Instructables.com. An alternative step-by-step guide may also be found at temari.com
Below you will find a small sampling of these lovely temari balls. Be sure to check out the entire 468-picture gallery on Flickr for more! (h/t: twistedsifter )
