    Francois Danis is a big paddle fan and over the years has created some real beauties. His latest offering, Hyottoko’s Journey, is probably his most ambitious, beautiful, and amazing yet.

    Like all great men Francois has also taken advantage of his wife’s (Pascaline) talents by protecting the paddles in a beautiful, embroidered case, hand-crafted by Pascaline. It really complements the paddles perfectly and I hope to see more of Pascaline’s talents on display in future projects from Francois 🙂  In fact, I’m ordering some of Pascaline’s beautiful handmade stitched gifts from her store right now!

    For the story teller what is really neat about this set is that instead of being a collection of three separate paddles Francois has created a routine that brings together all of the paddles flowing from one to the next.

    You receive:

    • A paddle with three fans.
    • A paddle with a sleeve and paper lanterns.
    • A mechanical paddle with Noh’s masks.
    • A small display stand with Hyottoko’s face.
    • A unique embroidered case to store them all.

    There are three sections to the included patter:

    • The Fans Paddle – a five phase routine
    • The Paper Lantern’s Paddle – a three phase routine
    • The Noh Masks Paddle – a three phase routine

    These are all brought together in an adorable story called The Concubine Story, and what is neat is the embroidered case is featured throughout the story as you remove and replace the paddles from the case.  You set everything up in the case before you start and you are off to the races.  What a great idea that makes it easy to manage the paddles and also gives the audience something pretty to focus on too 🙂
