Maiko Playing Shuttlecock // Heritage Wood Series

The Story Behind the Print

Hasegawa Sadanobu was celebrated for capturing the refined energy of the Kyoto geisha districts. This piece depicts a Maiko (apprentice geisha) engaged in a game of shuttlecock—a symbol of protection and good fortune. By reproducing this lively scene on sustainable Baltic Birch, we bring a tactile, human warmth to the artwork. The natural wood grain weaves through the Maiko’s flowing sleeves and the movement of the game, creating a piece that feels like a celebrated family heirloom.
