JAPANESE PRINCESS HAGOITA PADDLE HANDMADE, HAND PAINTED VINTAGE NEW YEARS
Lovely HAGOITA GEISHA Hand Painted
Vintage JAPANESE WOOD PADDLE With Many Layered Design SILK KIMONO
Hagoita is a wooden decorated paddle,
this particular one is wonderful- very thick and
sturdy and covered with hand painted padded
cloth behind the Geisha and checkered cloth on the handle.
These are traditionally decorated for New Year holidays
This is a technique called 'Oshie'- silk fabric is
stuffed with cotton to create a flattened doll
effect. Her face is completely hand painted
and she has a gorgeous expression.
Her head is supported by wooden dowels
on the back side, so she actually is slightly
dimensional and her head stands out
a bit from the surface of the paddle.
Size Approx. 19" Long x 7.5" Across at widest point at top of paddle.
Geisha is about 14" long
Very Good Condition
One very very small ding on back side just above black material handle
She is wrapped in her original plastic
