| Additional Information |
Image was scanned from color slide. Note: Hanetsuki is a Japanese traditional game, similar to badminton without a net, played with a rectangular wooden paddle called a hagoita and a brightly-coloured shuttlecock...The game is played by girls at the New Year.--Wikipedia. Note: Hagoita are rectangular wooden paddles, originating in Japan, ostensibly used to play hanetsuki, but often instead serving a more ornamental purpose. These are frequently painted, usually with lacquer, with auspicious symbols, or decorated with complex silk collages. This tradition dates to the 17th century, and although the game itself is now rarely played, crafting decorative hagoita is still commonplace.--Wikipedia. Note: Original caption information provided as: Japanese Battledore L. Showa Per. opposite side Pted Kiri wood used fro game of Battledore & shuttlecock at N. Years festival Coll. L.K. Sweeney. |
