Hanetsuki


This is a paddle game, hanetsuki, that is traditionally played on New Year's day. I was told, "Girls in kimono play this." We've played without wearing kimono. I have seen boys playing this, too.

The paddle is called hagoita. A padded silk hagoita is used as a decoration. The shuttlecocks are called hane. The blossom on the back is sakura, cherry blossom.

Hagoita


This is Big Sister's hagoita. Baba and Jiji bought it for her when she was a baby. It is a New Year's decoration.



The kimono is made out of silk.



This is its lacquer stand.



This is the back.
