The Wish for Good Health and Longevity Embodied in the Kyujutama

The Kyujutama is also known as “Yakutama.” In ancient times, it referred to a brocade bag filled with medicinal herbs, aromatic herbs, or spices, adorned with artificial flowers,
from which five-colored long threads hung.
It was considered to “ward off evil spirits and impurities and keep misfortune at bay,” and thus
embodies wishes for longevity, good health, and a prosperous life.
Its beautiful round shape and gorgeous design, with layers upon layers of flowers, make it a fitting celebratory ornament, and it has been cherished and passed down since ancient times.

Delicate Tsumami-zaiku Crafted from Japanese Kawamata Silk
The flowers adorning the Kyujutama are made usingJapanese Kawamata silk habutoge 4-mon.Each thin, delicate layer of silk is carefully folded and pinched one by one
to create beautiful petals.
The refined appearance unique to silk allows the petals to have beautifully defined outlines,
resulting in a clean and sharp finish.
The refined texture unique to silk also gives the petals beautifully defined outlines, conveying a dignified elegance within their delicate beauty.
The silk, carefully dyed one by one in Tsuruoka, features subtle variations in shades of green, creating a rich, layered color with depth.
It is elegantly finished, neither too flashy nor too subdued, and stands out beautifully against the white Hagoita.
When it catches the light, the subtle luster unique to silk creates beautiful highlights and shadows on each petal.
It harmonizes beautifully with the subdued green braided cords and golden bells, making this Kyujutama a piece where the meticulous craftsmanship can be appreciated in every detail.

The Wish to Ward Off Evil Embodied in the Hagoita
Since ancient times, the Hagoita has been cherished as a gift for a girl’s first New Year, celebrating her first New Year’s Day.
The feathers used in the game of hanefuki are likened to “misfortune” and “evil spirits,”
and it is said that by striking the feathers,
one can strike back misfortune and evil spirits.
“May you spend another healthy and safe year.”
This custom of decorating the Hagoita with such wishes is still carefully passed down today.
