Kimono is a Japanese traditional dress they were them especially for festivals.

Temari balls were made by reusing the old kimonos in ancient times but as in present times traditional temari became an art, with the functional stitching becoming more decorative and detailed, until the balls displayed intricate and detailed embroidery.
