Traditional Japanese Tsurushi Hina hanging decorations Tsurushi Hina and Japanese hanging decorations

What Are Tsurushi Hina?

Tsurushi Hina, also known as Tsurushi Kazari, are traditional Japanese hanging decorations made from many small handcrafted ornaments. Each ornament has an auspicious meaning and expresses wishes for a child’s happiness, health and growth.

Different regional traditions developed during the Edo period. In the Yanagawa area of Fukuoka Prefecture, these decorations are known as Sagemon. In the Inatori area of Shizuoka Prefecture, they are called Hina no Tsurushi Kazari, while the Shonai area of Yamagata Prefecture is known for Kasafuku.

Traditionally, these ornaments were carefully made by hand using pieces of old kimono fabric and leftover fabric scraps. Although their designs and construction methods vary by region, they share the same heartfelt wishes for the happiness and healthy growth of children.

Tsurushi Hina are often displayed alongside Hina dolls during the Hinamatsuri season. They are also selected as gifts for second or third daughters when the family already owns a traditional Hina doll display.

Juho Tougei offers freestanding Tsurushi Hina, arrangements in display cases, individual hanging ornaments, stands and optional display cases.
