The Hagoita ornament “Twisted Flower [Sunlight]” is crafted with care and devotion.
Adorned with the “Kyujutama,” a long-beloved lucky charm, it is rendered in soft yellow tones to express an elegant radiance.

Delicate tsumami-zaiku, the luster of fine silk, and designs incorporating classic motifs.
This Hagoita combines the traditional beauty of Japan with an elegant presence that blends seamlessly into modern living.

Wishes for Good Health and Longevity in the Kyujutama

The Kyujutama is also known as “Yakutama.” In ancient times, it referred to a brocade bag filled with medicinal herbs, aromatic plants, or incense, adorned with artificial flowers and
long, five-colored threads hanging from it.

It was considered to “ward off evil spirits and impurities and keep misfortune at bay,” and thus
carries wishes for longevity, good health, and a wholesome life.

Its beautiful round form and layered, floral design are equally suited as a celebratory ornament and have 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 habutome 4-mon.
Each layer of thin, delicate silk is carefully folded and pinched
to create tiny petals.

By taking advantage of the refined appearance unique to silk, the petals are beautifully defined,
resulting in a clean, sharp finish.
They possess elegance even in their delicate charm, allowing you to appreciate the quality of the material and the finesse of the handcraft the closer you look.

The colors, created by delicately layering silk carefully dyed one by one in Tsuruoka,
are radiant yet never overly bold, giving a gentle and elegant impression.

The subtle luster unique to silk creates beautiful highlights and shadows whenever it catches the light, giving the Kyujutama a sense of depth. Its harmony with the vivid tassel ornaments and braided cords is also beautiful, with every detail carefully finished.

A size that blends into everyday life and is easy to display

With a maximum width of 15 cm, it is quite compact.
It is easy to place in the entryway or living room and blends naturally into modern living spaces.

The Wishes for Protection Woven into the Hagoita

The Hagoita has long 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 hanefutsuki are likened to “misfortune” and “evil spirits,”
and it is said that by striking the feathers,
one can repel misfortune and evil spirits.

“May you spend another healthy and safe year.”
The custom of displaying a Hagoita with such wishes is still carefully passed down today.
