Hikaru dorodango


Hikaru dorodango. Made by hand.

There seem to be different methods. The link above says the ball is polished by cloth near the end. This page says the shine is not accomplished by polishing.

We made something similar in school. An egg made of clay, and polished with a spoon, I think before it was dry. It could get very slick and shiny.
