Today, hiogi for female are beautifully decorated with pictures of kissho (lucky omen) drawn with gold, whitewash, crimson, and rokusho (malachite, an inorganic green pigment), colored strings tied in ninamusubi knot at both ends, and artificial flowers of pine and Japanese plum (sometimes including tachibana, inedible citrus). |
現在も用いられる女性用の檜扇は金彩や胡粉・紅・緑青などで吉祥画を描き、六色の紐を両端に蜷結びしてマツやウメ(タチバナを含むことも)の造化を飾り付けた美しいものである。 |
