Glass beads

Thank you for viewing.

Features: Derived from vidro, the Portuguese word for glass, this item is made using glassblowing techniques passed down since the Edo period.
Use: When you blow into the mouthpiece, the thin part at the tip flips inward with a pekong sound, and when you suck it back, it returns to its original state. It is known as a toy (poppen) that allows you to enjoy its mysterious sound.
Culture: It has a history of being introduced through trading ports such as Nagasaki and is cherished as a Japanese craft.
