There is a traditional time to display hagoita and Hamayumi, but as they are good luck charms, there is no problem displaying them outside of that time. Hagoita, which was originally a "battledore tool" and "New Year's decoration of good luck" in the Imperial Court, gradually came to have the role of a "charm for girls." This is because the black ball at the tip of the feather used in hagoita is made from the seeds of a tree called "Mukuroji." As the characters suggest, it contains the parents' wish that "children will not suffer from illness." In this way, hagoita became a "charm for wishing for children's good health and healthy growth," and it came to be given and displayed during the "Hatsu Shogatsu" that the newborn baby celebrates for the first time. In the Imperial Court, hagoita, which was used for playing battledore, gradually came to be displayed during the New Year for the purpose of "warding off evil spirits" and "warding off bad luck." This is the birth of the "Hagoita decoration."
