 Vtg Japanese Traditional Paddle Hagoita With Box

This item is a Hagoita wooden paddle decorated with fabric. It shows a Japanese woman dressed in a beautiful kimono with a gorgeous handpiece holding a paper folding fan. The 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.
