Straight from Japan, my give away award arrived. She was thrilled to send something to such a mysterious country, I was happy to receive a package with a scent of far distances.Just the way it was packed pleased me. Paper balloons, decorative tapes and a piece of dishcloth with drawn instructions how to use it, how to wipe my mouth with it and such. Does anyone know what I could do with the balloons? I like them, that would be all right, I even have one from before, but....
What was the original idea in Japan, I wonder.

No idea what the purpose of paper balloons is, I always thought they were just happy and colorful decorations! Instructions on how to use properly dishcloths and napkins would be very handy for my kids:)
Very lucky to receive such beautiful things !
Já závydím! I love that Japanese tape. I think I need to purchase some. I love any craft related that is Japanese. What a wonderful gift.
How exciting to receive something like that! I would think the balloons are just for decoration? I'm not really sure what else you could do with them, they seem so fragile!
congrats with your prize!
saw your old magazine post, i recognize that style very much :)
Ive been told the paper balloons are for playing, kids use them to kick and throw around. But I guess for us they are rare and almost too precious to play with!
I'm pretty sure that the intent of the paper
ball is to play with. With oneself or a friend.
And it's so easy to tuck in one's pocket. :^)
Some people like to string and hang them
from the ceiling... sort of like a mobile.
Hello!!
Sorry for reacting so slowly (after one month!), but I just found your post and it made me smile! Thank you for sharing it here, it's so lovely to see it actually arriving at your place :)
The paper balloons are originally to play with, but many of my customers use them to decorate their houses. Here you can see a wonderful idea from one of my customers, so if you like please take a look. thank you!
