Vtg Japanese Traditional Paddle Hagoita With Box
This item is a Hagoita wooden paddle decorated with fabric. It shows a Japanese Kabuki actor dressed in a gorgeous light green, orange, blue and red kimono. The cloth part is made of silk and synthetic hair mimics the Kabuki Lion wig. The back of the paddle is painted and represents a Japanese plum tree and Japanese pine tree branches. The handle of the paddle is covered with velvet fabric. This hagoita paddle comes in its original paper box. Shuttlecocks are not included.
Hagoita is the wooden paddle used to hit shuttlecocks made of soapberry seeds and bird feathers, that is used to play the traditional Japanese pastime called Hanetsuki ( Japanese badminton) during the New Year. This is a three-dimensional fabric art (Oshie-Hagoita) of a woman or geisha in a kimono. The design is beautiful, so it would be nice as a room decoration.
