Kabuki Juhachiban Hagoita Yanone (Size 7)

Sale price$129.00

Heroic and filled with urgency, the Kabuki Juhachiban Hagoita Yanone portrays a pivotal moment from the legendary Soga Monogatari tale—when Soga Gorō, pausing to polish a massive arrowhead, slips into sleep and dreams of his brother in danger. He awakens and rides off at once, driven by loyalty and resolve.

This hagoita brings that tension and devotion vividly to life, crafted using the oshie technique in which fine fabrics are layered and sculpted to create expressive, dimensional figures. The artistry lies not only in what is seen, but in what is felt: a sense of motion, character, and urgency, all confined within the graceful upward sweep of the paddle’s shape.

The figure’s stance and gesture hint at action just about to unfold, while the intricate detailing of costume and expression reflect the grandeur of the Kabuki stage. A striking tribute to brotherhood and bravery, this piece is as emotionally resonant as it is visually refined.
