There is a traditional time to display Hagoita and Hama-yumi, but there is no problem displaying them outside of that time as they are good luck charms. The history of Hama-yumi is ancient, and it is thought to have originated from the Sharei (a ceremony of shooting arrows at a target), a New Year's event held in the Imperial Court around the Yamato period (around 647 AD). At that time, bows were believed to be "sacred objects with the power to ward off evil," and were used in various events in the Imperial Court. It became common to display them as "amulets against evil" around the Kamakura period, triggered by the custom of giving bows and arrows, which were important to samurai, to boys for their first New Year. The custom gradually spread to the general public, and it eventually became widely adopted as a "good luck charm to be displayed at home for boys' first New Year." By the way, Hama-yumi is often displayed together with "Hama-ya," and Hama-ya may be more commonly seen. They are given at temples and shrines during the first shrine visit of the year, and many households display them as "evil repellents" regardless of whether they have boys or not.
