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

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 displayed casually, like seasonal flowers.

The Chinese zodiac animal for 2027 is the sheep (Hitsuji),
considered a lucky symbol that brings safety to the household and blessings in human connections.
The sheep is crafted in the distinctive Hinamame style, with vibrant colors and a plump form, using the traditional craft of Kimekomi—applying antique fabric to a base made from precious powdered paulownia wood.

“Koufuku,” a Joyful Red That Invites Good Fortune

The sheep is finished in an auspicious red, imbued with wishes for good fortune.
The chic colors of its tail and feet accentuate the beauty of the red.

The head is adorned with a “Kanai-musubi” knot, symbolizing the fulfillment of wishes,
while the feet feature golden “Ume-musubi” knots, symbolizing the forging of bonds.

Delicate Colors and Textures Born from Time-Worn Fabric

Hinamame is renowned for its uniquely beautiful colors.
The dolls are made from “kobuse,” antique kimono fabric and textiles dating back to the early Showa era.
In particular, Edo-period chirimen and high-quality kimono fabrics from the Meiji and Taisho eras are rare treasures,
featuring delicate patterns, embroidery, and intricate tie-dye techniques
that possess a beauty not found in modern fabrics.

A Custom-Made Paulownia Box: Small Yet Sturdy

The dolls are delivered in custom paulownia boxes crafted by the same artisan
who has served Ms. Yumoto’s family for generations.
Paulownia wood is naturally resistant to insects and decay, flame-retardant, and moisture-resistant,
providing reliable protection for your precious dolls.

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

Authentic Japanese Style for French Living

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