 Vtg Japanese Traditional Paddle Hagoita With Box

This item is a Hagoita wooden paddle decorated with fabric. It shows a Japanese woman (geisha) dressed in a gorgeous red kimono decorated with shells, seaweed and other marine elements. The woman wears the traditional hairdo with an elegant headpiece. The back of the paddle is painted in blue and orange and represents bamboo foliage. The handle is covered with a black velvet fabric. This hagoita paddle comes in its original paper box. Three shuttlecocks are 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.
