Dear Sir or Madam, I have a hagoita paddle that has been authenticated by the Smithsonian museum and by the cultural attache at the Japanese embassy in Washington, DC that was made in 1600, the Togogowa era. This was the beginning of the hagiota and kabuki customs. The paddle has the family crest of three chrysanthemums that represent a war lord outside of eto in the year 1600. It has paintings on either side and has raised plaster with gold leaf possibly done by the Tosa school .It also has a hand-sewn linen cover with inscriptions. Pictures can be sent if you express interest. My email address is str9625@comcast.net. Sincerely, Gregg Strawder
