Musashiya Hozan Hagoita Silk Fuji Musume (Size 10)

Sale price$229.00

A captivating ode to love and longing, the Musashiya Hozan Hagoita Silk Fuji Musume portrays the delicate beauty of the Wisteria Maiden—an iconic character from classical Japanese dance. Artisan Hozan Noguchi brings this elegant figure to life, drawing from the celebrated tale in which a maiden, adorned in seasonal finery, drifts between wistful affection and poetic charm.

Dressed in a brilliant red kimono embroidered with flowing vines and florals, the maiden holds a folding fan in one hand and a parasol in the other—both signature elements of her performance. Cascading wisteria blossoms fall gracefully from her hair, adding a sense of movement and ephemeral allure to the composition.

The lifelike expression, shaded in the painterly style of traditional Japanese portraiture, evokes both grace and quiet melancholy. As always, the craftsmanship is precise: the three-dimensional layering of fabric and cotton creates a gentle curvature, allowing the figure to subtly rise from the paddle in serene poise.

Traditional decorative hagoita paddle featuring a 3D figure of a woman in a red kimono with floral details, holding an umbrella, displayed on a wooden stand with an accompanying wooden name plaque.
