This is a scene of the Hagoita fair held from Dec. 15th to 19th at Sensou-ji Buddhist temple in Asakusa, Tokyo.
The Hagoita fair gives a poetic touch to the end of the year at downtown Tokyo.
The Hagoita is wooden paddle shaped tool for the Hanetsuki that is the battledore and shuttlecock which is similar to Badminton.
The Hanetsuki became popular among the people in the Edo period and it was played by mainly girls at the New Year. However, nowadays, the Hanetsuki has died out, and only the Hagoita remained as the ornamental purpose.
