I find the masks quite interesting and would love to see the sacred house on someone's bracelet IRL first. In general, I have to admit I expected...more? ...better... ? I don't know... I'm not really dissapointed , but not as excited as I thought I'd be. There are many Redbalifrog Japan themed beads I'd prefer!

I feel the same MMP- im not disappointed, but they havent quite lived up to my expectation- like you say RBF do some really nice Japan inspired beads. tbh i always said id stay true to troll but of late the silvers have done nothing for me. where as Amandas beads seem to be more meaningful and she listens to what her costumers want. i do like the house bead though and im sure when i see them all on a bracelet i'll probably like them more

Beautiful, all of them I want, NEED them all

I need the farmhouse; it looks just like my Grandma's!

Hi, Foxy Girl. I thought there was a connection between you and Japan in Cajun Country.
The sacred temple/farmhouse bead is wonderful. One I don't believe anyone thought of.

I really like the pagoda and the flag bead. The other two are not really for me.

Love the Sakura bead now I have seen it close up!

Thanks for the pictures and the info
I love the complete set, but would want to see the glas Beads IRL before buying.
The sacred house i want to order right away. The masks is a verybeautiful bead, but i'm not sure yet.

Still many other country Beads to catch up with

The Sakura bead is the only one that really appeals to me, but it cost $57 usd, and that's not even including shipping. I don't think I want to spend that much for a glass flower bead that I haven't even seen IRL. Maybe I'll change my mind once I see other people's combos with it. At least these are beads that will be around for awhile in case I decide I can't live without it.

First of all, a question: Being the nerd that I am I followed "The X-Files" some years back and there was one episode called 'Kitsunegari' which meant 'Foxhunt'. So Is 'Kitsunegirl' 'Foxgirl' ?
So about the bluish bead: Isn't Sakura cherryblossom? To me they look more like chrysanthemums too ! I think they should have done a chrysanthemum bead as there already is the cherry blossom in silver, the cherry blossom tree in the Xmas in Australia, the cherry blossom earring and the Sakura in the Kimono kit...

Although I'm loving all of them,the Sakura bead and the Sacred House will be the first two on my list. I'll just have to figure out what all I can sell off in my house to afford all of them!

Yay - the Noh mask is exactly what I was hoping for, perfect and Trollish. I was really hoping for a white matte bead with a red sun, others look interesting too.

I'm sure it will be and I hoping for this exact bead - awesome, I looove o-Noh.

Looove the video too, the best one yet.

re foxes: the spirit of a jealous woman typically becomes a fox spirit and haunts her man and/or torments her rivals. But I'm sure Kitsune-girl wouldn't do that!

Mermaid-kitsune is fox. There is a Japanese myth about a fox that could turn into a beautiful woman. She married a man and gave him children, but if he ever saw her in true form, she would have to leave.

There was a short movie with a similar theme, but the woman was a gargoyle.

Maybe everything is cherry blossoms/sakura, because chrysanthemum is too long? LOL...

I'm going to need this whole set, but I need to save $$ for some other beads and hopefully a shopping trip with Bobbie! I hope you can drive! Tat2dnproud might be interested in joining so we could have a mini-meet.

I just read the description for the sacred house - and it's beautiful!
Very special and absolutely new to me! So I really might consider that one...

Really not what I was expecting, I'am a little disappointed in these beads was really hoping for a chrysanthemum flower. That said I may get the masks.

They are not my beads I like sadly.
They are on the selling site already tonight at a high price I think I do not know the real price yet.

i love the farm house and the cherry blossom glass bead. i can pass on the masks and the rising sun. but the cost... OUCH! i think i 'll wait until some of the US gals weigh in on the cost of customs and shipping before i jump in. thanks for posting! the enlarged photos are lovely.

My hubby watch the video with me. I said he would make my day, if he meet me on a bridge and gave me a gift wrapped trollbead.

No chance.

Very late to this thread, but I love these beads--- especially the glass!!

can't wait to see first designs with them, hopefully some japanese girls will soon come up with their bracelets
I love them all, blooming sakura seems very special, maybe not so easy to combine, but beautiful! I keep already making designs in my mind.. would better go to bed now

I'm excited to see what people do with these beads too!!

I love them all....and have just ordered the set! Oh well...no more spending for a long time.

Gosh, I'm late to this thread too! I think they are all so beautiful, especially the blue with cherry blossoms. They are all must-haves for me!
