What is the tonbo dama?

The glass ball who has an interesting name, the dragonfly ball(Japanes-TONBO DAMA), was made with now from the front of 3500 in Mesopotamia and Egypt.
The TONBO DAMA is the name of the ball who put various sentence style in the dissolution with the colored glass which is different from the glass ball whom the hole was contented with.
In the world, it is called eye beads.
In Japan, it is the name which was used from the middle of the era at the time of Edo(1600-1867).

The ball by whom the various art was elaborate was made by the era at the time of Edo and was called an Edo tonbo dama.
At the time of Edo, the luxurious prohibition with era had stopped a tradition and a technique wasn't taken over.
