About " Dorodango ball"

Hikaru Dorodango is a traditional Japanese, simple, tactile, and zen-like experience, inspired by a practice that has been enjoyed for centuries.

Originally was a children's game! shaping round balls of clay soil in schoolyards or home gardens, it evolved into a meditative practice that adults began to value as an art of stillness and presence.

Kayo described it as a phenomenon that reflected the deepest essence of children's play experimentation, concentration and learning from nature.
