About Japan... a few Japanese style beads

Since there's no sneak peek yet... we've searched for other Japanese themed beads to go along with the Trollbeads Japanese World Tour bead and perhaps make up a nice bracelet....

We did a topic a while back on beads to complement the Trollbeads Kimono kit release: here

The Japanese World Tour beads will presumably have 3 silvers and one glass, so we would need additional glass.

Trollbeads has quite a few 'Japanese' silvers in the current collection and most of the Japanese Trollbeads sites and pages we found showed pictures of bright, sweet and colorful glass...
so what about a 'Mangabracelet'...



For those who think that's too sweet we have some nice Ohm Silvers and Christa glass from Macs...
(next time an ad, Dave ) which reminds us of Ryūjin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryūjin

Where to buy the Trollbeads Japanese World Tour beads?

Trollbeads Japan will be using the Charity Mangabead ordering site (apparently) also for the Japanese World Tour beads. We do hope orders will be processed and handled better than happened with the Mangabead sales:

Wow thanks for the inspirations! I got the ohm wisdom owl and she is a very tiny very wise little owlet And I just fell in love with the dragon´s den bead!

I can't wait to find out and have been trying to imagine silvers - something Samuri, a temple, something that represents a tea ceremony.... so many ideas for Japan that this is a release I am especially looking forward to seeing!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a nice Daruma (more detailed than the Ohm one above). One of the first cultural ideas that hit me when I went to live in Japan in the 80s was: Nana korobi, ya oki. "If you fall down seven times, get up eight." The Daruma dolls are a symbol of that spirit of perseverance:

Thank you for the inspirations I also love the dragon`s den.

Can't wait to see what's on offer! The Macrow glass beads shown above are just my cup of tea, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the inspiration to come over the waiting time. I´m so much looking forward to Friday and am ery excited I guess there might be a white bead with just a red point, but for me this is too "simple", so I´m hoping for something more specific

But the Rising Sun is very specific. It is the flag of Japan. I think it would be a nice companion bead for the kimonos in a matte finish.

Matte finish sounds good. I like that idea. I was thinking of another gloss bead, but matte.... the more I think about this, the more I love that idea

Love the idea of the white bead with the red sun. I am also hoping to see something to do with bamboo. And the gargoyle protectors...I can't remember their name, but the one with the mouth open is the female...LOL wonder why???

I hope it is bamboo too..I submitted bamboo for the peoples bead two years in a row!!!!!

I hope that the beads have a real Japanese style.
I think bamboo is very nice

Don't forget Three Wise Monkeys!

I think it's 'Komainu'Trolldog.They look like dog with mane.Generally they protect temples gate.

I'm so sorry don't have information or sneak peek pictures to all.TB Japan never leak any info before release date...I'm sad I cannot share them with you right now

My entry for the people's bead this year was 'Komainu', I'd be very happy to have this as a bead to join my Kimono bracelet

thanks for the posting of inspiration! but don't forget about RBF's beads!! i went through the collection and there are about 10 that could be used. i'm afraid my computer skills are not that great as i would have posted pictures of: jizo, graceful crane, bonsai tree, japanese kimono, koi fish, bamboo (real, not silver), bamboo frog, lotus flower, geisha doll, at least one of the buddha's and the lotus lock!!! can't wait to see the great bracelets people come up with!!!

I am hoping that this is the best release yet!

Love the Ohm Maneki Neko1 If trollbeads doesnt me release one, then I will definatly be purchasing the Ohm bead!

That's what I'm afraid of, lol! I've been focusing on buying some of the Japanese-themed beads this summer, so that I wouldn't miss out on them once the Japanese WT beads start a buying frenzy!
But now I'm running out of time.
I already got myself the Ohm Maneki Neko lucky cat bead and some of the others mentioned. (The RBF Maneki Neko bead looks too skinny to me, and the paw looks awkward. JMHO.)

Thank you Sita for the pics and info. I am so curious about these beads!

I love the Mac beads meself! The serpent skin in particular is rather, "yes please"!

I can't believe we have no sneak peek yet. It is driving me crazy!!!
