A celebration of Japanese craftsmanship, natural materials, and thoughtful design, this exquisite sewing set pairs a beautifully crafted hinoki cypress pincushion with three one-of-a-kind Tombo-dama glass sewing pins.
The pincushion’s base is carefully shaped from hinoki cypress sourced from Japan’s Kii Mountain Range. The natural beauty of hinoki adds a subtle sensory pleasure to your sewing time, while making it a lovely addition to your workspace.
The cushion is covered in Banshu-ori cotton, a traditional textile produced in the northern Harima region of Hyogo Prefecture. Celebrated for its soft texture, comfortable feel, and rich, expressive colors, Banshu-ori brings warmth and character to each piece. Inside, the pincushion is filled with rust-resistant stuffing, helping protect your sewing pins and needles and keep them in good condition.
At the heart of the set are three exquisite sewing pins topped with Tombo-dama glass beads, Tombo-dama translates literally to “dragonfly’s eye,” a name inspired by the mesmerizing appearance of these colorful glass beads. Each glass head has its own pattern, color, and subtle character—making each pin as unique as a tiny flower.
Beautifully tactile and full of character, this set transforms an everyday sewing essential into something truly special—a small collection of Japanese craftsmanship, heritage textiles, fragrant wood, and hand-shaped glass, created to bring beauty and pleasure to the art of sewing.
