I didn't use it for the actual New Year's card.、I just tried the design。The embossed hagoita motif is、Something that I received through someone by chance.。It is famous as one of the traditional cultures of Kasukabe City, Saitama Prefecture.。I don't know the name of the maker、I tried to draw it in watercolor to resemble the real thing as much as possible.。
What surprised me when I drew it was the artist's drawing ability.。I don't think the products themselves are hand-painted one by one.、At least the first picture, including the composition、It must have been drawn by someone。
Oshie hagoita is made by pasting cloth etc. in three dimensions.、The face, fingers, etc. are drawn on a flat surface (something like a thick styrene board).。The shadows give it a three-dimensional effect.。In line with traditional design、Surprisingly (and it's rude to say so) delicate and sharp、and accurate。
The gradation of shading is also careful.。Although it is familiar, it is not rough.。The quality of the tourist souvenirs is far different from that of other tourist souvenirs.。It is true that this is a traditional culture, but at the same time、I felt a sense of pride that it was just a single painting.。I was lucky to have the opportunity to try drawing it.。
On one battledore、If you count from the person who grows trees、There must be a considerable number of craftsmen involved.。For all those people (including their families) to live、Hagoita is expensive and must sell like hotcakes.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。Considering the reality of the demand for hagoita,、I think going out of business (I hear) is an unavoidable choice.、Even in such a small part、Infused with the commitment and ability of craftsmen。It was a New Year with a little touch of traditional culture.。
