Yellow and black lacquered metal two-seater children's pedal car after the Citroën Trèfle 5 CV. L. 200 cm (wear and tear, missing lacquer). Launched in 1921, the Citroën Type C, also known as the 5 HP, quickly became a great success, so much so that it was declined in a children's version by Jouets Citroën, then by France Jouet in 1969. Although our model is not an authentic Citroënette from the 1920s, it remains a rare quality replica.

A GOLD LACQUERED WOOD NETSUKE OF HAGOITA AND BURIBURI, CHILDRENS’ NEW YEAR TOYS A GOLD LACQUERED WOOD NETSUKE OF HAGOITA AND BURIBURI, CHILDRENS’ NEW YEAR TOYS Unsigned Japan, Edo period (1615-1868) The finely lacquered netsuke in the form of a pair of hagoita (battledore), a hago (shuttlecocks), and a buriburi (octagonal mallet), richly decorated to the exterior in iro-e hiramaki-e, as well as kirigane, depicting a rope issuing gourds to the ends, branches of pine, and scrolling clouds and vines. These toys are traditionally gifted to children to celebrate the coming of the New Year. Himotoshi in the form of a silver loop mounted to a kiku finial. HEIGHT 5.9 cm Condition: Presenting exceptionally well, with some wear, some flaking, and losses to exposed areas with associated professional repairs and touchups. Hagoita are the wooden paddles used to hit shuttlecocks (hago or hane), traditionally made of soapberry seeds and bird feathers, that are used to play the traditional Japanese game called hanetsuki during the New Year. The paddles are decorated with various images, sometimes executed in relief. The Japanese believe playing hanetsuki is a way to drive away evil spirits because the movement of the hagoita is similar to the harau action (a Japanese expression meaning “to drive away”). Thus playing hanetsuki with hagoita is often used as a charm against evil. The buriburi is a gourd-shaped roller, with or without wheels, which was rolled along the ground or pulled with a string. Their origin is obscure, but it is believed that they originated from China, and that they were used in a game of the same name. After the New Year festival, these playing implements were sometimes ceremonially burned in a ceremony known as sagitcho.
