羽子板と羽根

The game Hagoita
The Japanese game Hagoita is played with a battledore, or paddle and a shuttlecock, or birdie. It is a game played at New Year's and while it is enjoyed as a game, it is also traditionally thought to be a talisman against evil. People pray for good health for the coming year and playing Hagoita is believed to protect people from epidemics caused by insects like flies and mosquitoes because the flying shuttlecock looks like a dragonfly, which eats these pests.
In the past people enjoyed decorating plain Hagoita paddles with paper, cloth or artwork. Recently these rackets are decorated on one side with a picture of a kabuki actor. These are now popular in Japan, and beautiful.

日本の遊び　羽子板遊び
羽根つきは日本のお正月の遊びです。単なる遊びだけではなく、厄よけの意味もあります。人々は羽子板遊びをしながら一年の無病息災を祈ります。それは疾病の元である、カ、ハエ、等を追い払うと信じられております。飛びかう羽根は害虫を食べるトンボに例えられます。当初、羽子板に直接板に絵を描いたり色紙や布を貼ったりして遊びました。今、日本では歌舞伎役者柄の押し絵羽子板がとても人気です。

Plain Battledore
My shop's specialty is the Plain Battledore, or, Plain (Undecorated) Paddle. Iwate Prefecture of Japan grows many Paulownia trees used to make the battledore, or paddle, used in the Japanese game: "Hagoita". The Paulownia of Iwate is used for the famous brand name "Nanbu-giri" which is exported all over Japan. My shop produces these original, plain paddles made of this Paulownia. These can be decorated with pictures, beautiful cloth, or colorful paper. Use your imagination. These are also used as a "postcard" and sent in the mail to friends or family. You can write on them, affix a stamp, and mail it.
To use these in the game, Hagoita, which is similar to badminton, you need the shuttlecocks, or "birdies" made with soapberries in the traditional style. You can buy these from our homepage, or shop in Morioka.

　Soapberry
About the MUKUROJI tree, seed-pod.
The shuttlecocksﾕ ball is made from a MUKUROJI tree. The MUKUROJI Family is a type of tree that is deciduous and grows very tall, up to about 15 meters, or almost 50 feet. These trees have small, light green flowers in the summer. When the flowers die, small fruits, or seed-pods, begin to grow. These fruits become hard, black and about 2cm in diameter. It is this, hard, black, stone-like fruit that is used to make the ball of the shuttlecocks. The bark of these trees can also be used as a soap substitute.
