【Zodiac Sale】Lucky Zodiac Ornament - Hanetsuki (traditional New Year's paddle) with Chirimen (crepe fabric) Crafts | 2026

The 2026 zodiac animal is the Horse.
Among the zodiac animals, the horse has long been cherished by the Japanese people as a symbol of forward-thinking energy, success, and prosperity. Horses are inherently animals that always move forward, and their image of advancing without looking back makes them a symbol of those who pursue their dreams. The ema (votive horse tablets) dedicated at shrines originate from the belief that horses were messengers of the gods. Starting from the belief of sending wishes by riding a horse, many people still dedicate ema during their first shrine visit of the year. Therefore, the horse holds a special meaning as a being that delivers wishes and a animal that brings good fortune.

The battledore, cherished as an amulet for warding off evil and ensuring good health, carries the wish for children to grow up healthy by batting away (hane) all sorts of evil spirits.
This is a sale of the battledore only.
Please note that the battledore stand is not included.

We also have other Year of the Horse lucky charms made of chirimen crepe (and plan to have more), so
