[Pre-Order] Chinese Zodiac - Goats “Juju”

A One-of-a-Kind Chinese Zodiac Ornament to Brighten the New Year

Yoshiko Yumoto is the artist behind Hinamame.
“I want to cherish Japan’s ancient traditions, beautiful customs, and aesthetic sensibilities.”
With this in mind, she created Chinese zodiac dolls that can be casually displayed, much like seasonal flowers.

The Chinese zodiac sign for 2027 is the Sheep (Hitsuji),
considered a lucky symbol that brings safety to the household and blessings in human connections.
The doll is crafted in the distinctive Hinamame style, with a plump form and vibrant colors created using the traditional craft of Mokume-komi, where antique fabric is inlaid into a base made from precious powdered paulownia wood.

A Chic Color Palette with a “Juju” Knot for Longevity

The calm purple floral pattern
is beautifully complemented by an orange nose and tail.

The head features a Kanai knot, which symbolizes “dreams coming true,”
while the tail is adorned with a golden Ume knot, symbolizing “forming meaningful bonds.”

Delicate Colors and Textures Unique to Time-Honored Fabrics

Hinamame’s charm lies in its uniquely beautiful colors.
The pieces are made from “kobuse,” antique kimono fabrics and textiles dating back to the early Showa era.
Among these are rare, high-quality Edo chirimen and Meiji and Taisho-era kimono fabrics,
featuring delicate patterns, embroidery, and intricate tie-dye techniques
that possess a beauty not found in modern fabrics.

A Small but Sturdy Custom-Made Paulownia Box

The doll is delivered in a paulownia box crafted by the same artisan
who has been serving Ms. Yumoto’s family for generations.
Paulownia wood is naturally insect- and rot-resistant, flame-retardant, and moisture-resistant,
safely protecting your precious doll.

The base is wrapped in a silk pouch and placed inside the box.
Once it arrives, you can display it right away.

Authentic Japanese Style for French Living

Like Hinamame, “authentic Japanese style” fits seamlessly into any interior.
It pairs beautifully with doilies, cake stands, and trays.
Enjoy it freely in any setting, not just a Japanese-style room.
