Hotaru glass, with its deep blue color evoking the Okinawan sea, is a popular souvenir. It's a perforated glass bead made using a molding technique called burnerwork, just like glass beads. Hotaru glass, a type of glass bead that didn't originate in Okinawa, has been popular as a souvenir from Okinawa for a long time, but while there's no clear record of when it first became popular, it began gaining attention in the late 1980s as an alternative to rare coral products, and it's said that its colors, reminiscent of the deep sea, captured the hearts of tourists.
