The tradition of Hama Yumi (demon-breaking bow) decorations originates from ancient China, where it was believed that on the first New Year's Day of the Tango no Sekku festival, a powerful warrior deity called "Shoki" would appear and use a bow to dispel evil spirits. This custom was passed down to the Japanese imperial court, where rituals such as "Sharei" and "Daisha," involving shooting arrows at a target, were performed. Around the mid-Heian period, Hama Yumi rituals for warding off evil and for fortune-telling began to be held at shrines. During the Edo period, Hama Yumi became popular as decorative items, gifts, and good luck charms, becoming synonymous with decorations for a baby's first New Year. To this day, Hama Yumi are displayed for a boy's first New Year, carrying wishes for him to grow up strong, powerful, and healthy. In Japan, there is a beautiful custom of celebrating this first New Year by having the baby's grandparents, aunts and uncles (paternal and maternal), matchmakers, parents, relatives, and close friends prepare and give gifts: a Hagoita (feather shuttlecock paddle) for girls, and a Hama Ya (demon-breaking arrow) or Hama Yumi for boys. Please note that regional cultures and customs can vary significantly across areas such as Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hokuriku, Kanto, Tokyo, Tokai, Kinki, Kansai, Kyoto, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. Please confirm the regional customs of your delivery area before purchasing.
