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

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 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 technique of Mokume-komi, the Sheep doll is crafted with the vibrant colors and rounded form characteristic of Hinamame, set on a base made from precious powdered paulownia wood.

“Chiyo,” with its charmingly playful patterns

From bold floral designs to delicate diamond patterns,
a variety of motifs are combined with meticulous attention to detail,
ensuring they come together in an adorable, harmonious design.

The head features a Kanai-musubi knot, symbolizing “may your wishes come true,”
while the sides are adorned with golden Ume-musubi knots, symbolizing “forming meaningful connections.”

Delicate colors and textures born from time-honored fabrics

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

A sturdy, custom-made paulownia box, small yet reliable

The dolls are delivered in paulownia boxes crafted by a workshop
that has served Ms. Yumoto’s family for generations.
Paulownia wood is naturally insect- and rot-resistant, flame-retardant, and moisture-resistant,
providing excellent protection for 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

True Japanese style, like Hinamame, fits seamlessly into any interior.
It pairs beautifully with doilies, cake stands, and trays.
Rather than being limited to a Japanese-style room, please enjoy it freely in a setting of your choice.
