Hagoita Shuttlecock
hagoita 羽子板
is a sort of game like badminton or shuttlecock, with a wooden paddle and small balls with feathers attached to them. It is a traditional game for the New Year Holidays. Little girls play it dressed in kimono.
If you look closely, the girl holds a small board with Daruma in her left hand.
