Hikaru dorodango are balls of mud, formed by hand into perfect spheres, and then polished to a brand-new-bowling ball gloss. "The process is simple, but the result makes it seem like alchemy." It does.
Mud? These things are incredible!
Dorodango was a traditional pastime among the Japanese children. No one seems to know where it came from. The tradition was dying out until Professor Fumio Kayo developed a simple technique for creating dorodango. It's now hip, and booming.
The dorodango above is by Bruce Gardner --click on his name to see his interesting site. He has created some wonderful dorodango. And he even gives you detailed information on how to make your own.
