This item is a Hagoita wooden paddle decorated with fabric. It shows a Japanese woman dressed in festival clothing and wearing festival make-up. The details of the clothing for this hagoita are painted on top of the fabric. The handle is covered with a black velvet soft fabric. The back of the paddle is painted and represents Japanese momiji leaves. Two shuttlecocks are included. A paper box is 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.
