Japanese traditional culture Otedama

On this article, I  introduce a Japanese traditional toy.
It's called "otedama"

  An old woman made these otedamas.
Beans or rice are put inside. You play juggling with these otedama.
  I seldom see children playing with these nowadays.
  Old people are trying to teach children how to do that
so the tradition will not disappear.
  I can't play well... I did not play with otedama.
  Maybe otedama is the toy for girls.
 
I  put this Gogatsu ningyou back to the attic.
