【Hakone Yosegi Pattern】Wooden Naruko 4-piece Set for Yosakoi Dance (Approx. 20 years old)

Wooden naruko with a Yosegi (parquetry) pattern.
Purchased in Hakone approximately 20 years ago.
All four pieces make a rattling sound.

These are traditional naruko used in Yosakoi dancing and feature a design with geometric patterns reminiscent of Yosegi craftsmanship.
They would also make a lovely decorative item. (^^♪

4 pieces


Length: Approx. 19.5 cm
Top width: Approx. 7 cm
Weight: Approx. 50g (per piece)


These naruko have never been used for dancing. They were only rattled when purchased.
They were displayed on a sideboard for a few years and then stored long-term in a storage area. There are no major scratches, but there are minor scuffs.
Of course, they still make a sound without any issues.


Hakone Yosegi-zaiku is a traditional craft of Hakone that has continued since the late Edo period, creating geometric patterns by combining the colors of different types of wood.
This item is not made with Yosegi craftsmanship itself, but rather is a highly designed naruko that utilizes a Yosegi- pattern.
Recommended not only for dance use but also as Japanese-style interior decor or for collectors.

This item is not new and has been in long-term storage for approximately 20 years. Please refrain from purchasing if you are seeking new quality.
We also kindly ask that you refrain from negotiating the price of this item.
