japanese crafting

Here is a site I just found that has some good information for traditional Japanese crafts, like てまり (thread balls) and ちりめん (chirimen=crepe silk or rayon) zakka（ざっか　or　雑貨, I think)/omamori (お守り). The directions are all in Japanese, but the diagrams are also pretty clear. If nothing else, it's good for ideas. (Just so you know, the buttons at the bottom of the pop-up pages say 閉じる[tojiru; 'close']. I didn't read them at first and thought there might be a few more pages of instruction, but what you see is what you get.)
