[Pre-Order] Chinese Zodiac - Sheep "Kanon"

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

Noriko 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 and enjoyed, 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.
Crafted using the traditional technique of Kimekomi, where scraps of vintage fabric are inlaid into a base made from precious powdered paulownia wood,
it features the vibrant colors and plump, rounded form characteristic of Hinamame.

"Hanane," Made with the Artist's Favorite Edo Chirimen

The doll's lower half is made from Edo Chirimen, Noriko Yumoto's favorite fabric.
A grayish base is accented with mint green and adorned with red and pink flowers.
Its subdued color palette exudes both elegance and charm.

The head is adorned with a Musubi knot, symbolizing "dreams coming true,"
while the lower half features a golden Ume knot, symbolizing "forming bonds."

Delicate Colors and Textures Born from Time-Honored Fabrics

Hinamame's distinctive charm lies in its uniquely beautiful colors.
The pieces are made from "Furuso," vintage kimonos and fabrics dating back to the early Showa era.
Among these, high-quality Edo Chirimen and kimonos 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 Small but Sturdy Custom-Made Paulownia Box

The doll is delivered in a paulownia box crafted by the same artisan
who has been serving Noriko 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

Like Hinamame, "authentic Japanese style" fits seamlessly into any interior.
It pairs beautifully with doilies, cake stands, and trays.
Enjoy it freely not only in Japanese-style rooms, but wherever suits your taste.
