VINTAGE JAPANESE YANAGAWA SAGEMON TEMARI SILK HANGING ORNAMENTS - SET OF 2 PAIR STRANDS WITH TWO TEMARI BALLS EACH DOLL FESTIVAL (HINAMATSURI)
An impressive set of authentic Japanese folk textile craft: a matching pair set (2 hanging strands) of hand-embroidered Temari hanging ornaments known as "Sagemon" (さげもん), originating from the historic canal city of Yanagawa in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. Each 105 cm strand features two distinct Temari balls intricately hand-embroidered with silk threads, gold accents, decorative knotwork, and long red-and-white lower tassels. Traditionally displayed in pairs during Hinamatsuri (Girls' Day / Doll Festival) to pray for happiness, longevity, and family harmony.
[THE CULTURAL HERITAGE & DESIGN SYMBOLISM OF YANAGAWA SAGEMON]"Sagemon" is a revered folk decoration of Yanagawa dating back to the late Edo period. Grandmothers and mothers hand-sew colorful Temari balls and lucky charms, hanging them on either side of Hinamatsuri doll displays to celebrate a newborn daughter's first festival.
