Japanese Seed Beads
These mixes of small glass seed beads are all made by Toho Ltd. Co in Japan. They are very well made and are nicely color coordinated. Toho beads have a large, smooth and rounded hole, and many of the designs are based on a tube shape.

Since the hole is relatively large compared to the bead size, you'll be able to make more thread passes through these beads than a similarly sized Czech seed bead.

Bead sizes vary a bit between the different color combinations, but tend to include seed bead sizes from 10/0 (2mm beads) to 6/0 (4mm beads), and 6mm Bugle beads. Often, you will also get some specialty shapes such as square or triangle beads in the mix (usually described in the detailed description for the mix). Beads are packaged in 1/2 ounce bags (a little over 14 grams). When taking the pictures, we try to show the entire contents of a typical package within the image so you'll have a good idea of how many you get.
