Bonto Gallery
Glass beadmaking is among the most ancient forms of craft known to man; people across the world have always held a fascination with these beautiful pieces of art! A two-generation family continues to uphold the tradition here in Hachimantai as well, at Bonto Gallery.
This household workshop and exhibit has approximately 3,000 different products on display! Their specialty is known as the “Flower Bead,” glass beads that are decorated with all manner of floral designs. It’s perfect for bracelets and necklaces, but also complements and other handicrafts remarkably well. Each and every item is made by hand, so no two things end up the same. Do come check it out!
*This production was made with funds from the “Expressway Promotion & Tourism Project”, which is sponsored by the National Land Planning Association.
