JAPANESE TOHO™ seed beads are very uniform in size but more cylindrical in shape, with large holes and thinner walls. Most popular for their wide variety of colors and finishes.

**TRANSPARENT: Means that you can see completely through the bead. Transparent actually transmits - or gives off light - making them a little more sparkly than opaque or translucent beads. Transparent beads recede visually in the background against other colors.**

**MATTE: (also referred to as “frosted” or “satin”) describes a velvety or "frosted" dull finish, rather than a shiny or reflective surface. The effect is achieved by chemical etching or tumbling. Matte beads recede visually next to any shiny bead and display rich, deep colors.**
