Temari balls are an folk art form that originated in China and were introduced to Japan five or six hundred years ago. The balls were originally made by mothers and grandmothers for the children to play with (they were used in kickball and handball games similar to the hackeysack games played around the world today). Historically they were constructed from the remnants of old kimonos. Pieces of silk fabric would be wadded up to form a ball, then the wad wrapped with strips of fabric. The silk threads would have been removed and saved and used to first wind around the ball, then to stitch the ball firmly together (it is said that the balls were wrapped and stitched so tightly that they actually did bounce). As time moved on traditional Temari balls became an art, with the functional stitching more and more decorative and detailed, until the balls displayed very intricate embroidery. The balls transcended from play toys into art objects (although loving moms will still make them for their children) with the introduction of rubber to Japan. Temari balls became an art and craft of the Japanese upper class and aristocracy and noble women competed in creating more and more beautiful and intricate objects. They now represent a highly valued and cherished gift symbolizing deep friendship and loyalty. It is traditional for a mother to make a ball for her daughter as a New Year's gift. They are also defined as Hime-temari (silk balls), made to bring good fortune to the person who keeps them, and are made by hand wrapping silk threads of different colors. These crafts, filled with both the craftsman's gentle spirit and techniques, are believed to bestow happiness. The brilliant color and threads used also are symbolic of wishing the recipient a brilliant (happy) life.

A split skirt can either be a skirt that has a split.hehe. Or it could be a, oh how do you spell it, kulote?? hehe, sorry if the spelling is wrong. A kulote is a skirt that has two large splits on each side and has shorts underneath sewed in. I use one in Athletics. Very useful.

Pants only became a single garment late in their history. Until the late seventeenth century, the garments used to cover legs (most often called "hose") were two sleeves of fabric, tied to the belt with laces (usually called "points")and open at the crotch, which was covered by the tunic, breeches, a codpiece, or not at all. In the high middle ages, only the men of the nobility were allowed to wear short tunics which exposed their genitals -- commoners had to cover up. In the eighteenth century, there was quite a bit of migration in the names of garments, and we ended up calling hose "trousers" and stockings "hose." Pants, short for "pantaloons" and named after a stock character of the Commedia dell'Arte, is an American expression which until recently was considered quite vulgar by the Brits. In any case, whether pants, trousers, breeches, britches, knickers or shorts, the concept has always remained plural even though the garment became singular.
