[What is the First New Year?] The first New Year after a baby's birth is called "Hatsushogatsu." In Japan, there is a beautiful tradition of celebrating this first New Year by giving a hagoita (battledore) to girls and a hamayumi (decorative bow) to boys from the baby's grandparents, uncles, aunts, matchmakers, and close friends. [The Meaning of the Hagoita] New Year's hanetsuki (battledore and shuttlecock) has been a girls' game since the Edo period. Hagoita also serves as a talisman for good health and safety for baby girls. The hard, black ball used in the hagoita is the seed of a large tree called "mukuroji," which is written in kanji as "mukuanji" (literally, "children will not suffer"). It carries the meaning of "children will not suffer." [When to Display] Hagoita and hamayumi are best displayed from mid-December onward. It is also a good idea to invite those who gave them to your home during the New Year holidays. They should be put away around January 15th.
