Hikaru dorodango – shiny balls of mud

Two cool articles on the art of forming a glob of mud into a shiny polished ball called a “dorodango” (Japanese):

This one is more of the philosophical / metaphorical side of it, and is a really good introduction.
This one is about someone’s first attempt to actually make one.

Is there some specific art term for art that’s meant to be temporary / transient, like these or the sand paintings that Buddist monks do?

Not exactly “Home, Sweet Home” or 1 Corinthians 13 (the “love is patient, love is kind, blah blah blah” one), but I think I’d be more likely to hang these up in my home anyway. More good ones here.
