[Pre-Order] Chinese Zodiac - Goat "Hanahiro"

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 these Chinese zodiac dolls that can be casually displayed, just 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.
Using the traditional craft of Kimekomi, the Sheep is crafted with the vibrant colors and rounded form characteristic of Hinamame,
on a base made from precious powdered paulownia wood, with antique fabric intricately inlaid into the surface.

"Hanagane" – Enjoying a Splendid Auspicious Pattern

Cherry blossoms, autumn leaves, and chrysanthemums are depicted on purple fabric.
It is an auspicious combination of patterns reminiscent of the Taisho era.
The tail is intentionally finished with a single layer,
giving it a light, distinctive red hue that sets it apart from other pieces.

The head is adorned with a "Kanai" knot, symbolizing "may your wishes come true,"
while the tail is finished with a golden "Ume" knot, symbolizing "forming bonds."

Delicate Colors and Textures Born from 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-period 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 textiles.

A Sturdy, Custom-Made Paulownia Box, Small Yet Reliable

The doll is delivered in a paulownia box crafted by a workshop
that has been serving Ms. Yumoto's family for generations.
Paulownia wood is 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.

Bringing Authentic Japanese Style to French Living

True Japanese style, like Hinamame, fits seamlessly into any interior.
It pairs beautifully with doilies, cake stands, and trays.
Not limited to Japanese-style rooms, please enjoy it freely to suit your taste.
