Japanese follows English. 英語の後に日本語が続きます。

A netsuke is a small carved ornament, especially of ivory or wood, worn as part of Japanese traditional dress as a toggle by which an article may be attached to the sash of a kimono (source: Lexico), while an ojime is a bead, often decorated, used as a sliding fastening device on the strings of a purse or pouch in Japanese traditional dress (source: Lexico).

Their blue, green and gold colors are so beautiful that when looking at these parent-child like mini-globes, I get sucked into their world... Have you ever seen such a tiny but beautiful globe?🌏
