This video shows how nerikiri confections are made by a Japanese mother and daughter, who own the shop Temari, where they make nerikiri sweets by hand. Nerikiri is a traditional Japanese sweet originating from Kyoto during the Edo period. It is made with sweetened white bean paste and rice flour and hand-shaped into intricate designs. The elaborate techniques and tools used to carefully sculpt complex designs have been passed down through generations. The mother shared her story- she began making nerikiri confections 30 years ago, when it was uncommon for Japanese women to take on this profession. However, it was because of the limited female representation in this field of work that motivated her to continue her craft. Sakura blossoms, apples, strawberries, birds, and other items are sculpted from the rice flour to create beautiful designs. The inspiration for their craft comes from many sources, including elements of nature such as the Shonan beach. Making nerikiri requires a great amount of craftsmanship and creativity- the owners of Temari hope to preserve this art form and continue teaching it to others.
