Kawakami Gozen, the Paper Goddess2013.12.11

My friend Markus asked me if I had a photo of our paper goddess.  Well..........  I think I had one somewhere that I took at my coworker's house.

Here it is !

There must be some other kinds, but my coworker who have been papermaking more than fifty years, born in a paper family and married next to the village with a guy who makes tools for papermaking, showed me this during our Paper Festival in May. It seems that each house bought it long long time ago and that they hang it for three days to celebrate it.
