Description
Besides giving an overview of how battledores are made, this small museum exhibits 20 rare examples of this ancient craft. The displays explain that battledores were originally made for the game of Japanese shuttlecock, or hane, which dates to the Muromachi Period (1392-1573); they were usually made from paulownia (Japanese figwort tree), or cryptomeria (Japanese cedar).
