<Delivery in Japan only>
We only accept time-specific requests (we do not accept date-specific requests).

As a special offer, we will give away a “wa-kazari” (a wreath made from rice straw) from Nagano Prefecture to everyone who orders a shimekazari within the reservation period {from Monday, September 9th to Monday, October 7th, 2024}.

However, as there is a limited number available, if the limited number is reached during the reservation period, the present will end. Please understand.

*Wholesale is not included.

This is a Shimekazari called “Spiral”.

The three rings of the Shimenawa(a sacred rope) and the three tassel-like ornaments are particularly striking.
The three loops are meant to represent a circle of people, and are a symbol of good fortune and good connections.

Also, Shimekazari decorations from all over Japan often use this triple ring shape,
and this spiral shape is also said to be modeled on the way a snake coils itself.

The Oriental zodiac sign for the year 2025 is the year of the snake,
and the meaning of the three interlocking rings and the coiled snake overlap,
so this is truly a good coincidence.

Shimekazari are decorations made from rice straw that are displayed inside and outside the house in preparation for welcoming the New Year’s deity, “Toshigami-sama”.

The Shimekazari introduced here is made using rice straw harvested in the southern part of Nagano Prefecture and is made locally.

The makers are involved in every step of the process, from growing the rice straw to harvesting and making the decorations.

Rice straw, also called “green harvest”, harvested before the rice has ripened.

Rice harvesting takes place in the peak of the summer heat, from July to August.

This is a video of the rice straw harvest. Please take a look.

This Shimekazari is made from high-quality rice straw that is also used to make the ring for Sumo wrestling.
The soft green rice straw is carefully woven into a pattern.

Display it inside or outside the entrance.
The back is flat, so it will fit nicely on the wall.

In the house, in the living room where people gather.
Also, in cafes, galleries, workshops, select shops, and other shops.

How about using it in the meeting room at work, in a shared office, or in a school classroom?

Enjoying a meal with your family and friends.

Conversations with customers that spring up from unexpected commonalities.

A time for valuable discussions with reliable colleagues.

The sight of colleagues encouraging each other and growing together.

We believe that it will always be watching over everyone in that place.

We also recommend that you display them and enjoy them throughout the year, even after New Year’s Day.

The fact that the three tassels are shaped like a fan is also considered to be good luck.
This shape is said to ward off evil and bring happiness and prosperity that never end.

In order to keep the Shimekazari in good condition,
please do not leave it in the cardboard box after it arrives, but open it and take it out immediately.

If you do not display it immediately after taking it out of the box,
please store it in a cool place that is not exposed to direct sunlight.

After use, you can either take it to the shrine’s collection point or dispose of it as burnable waste.
If you dispose of it as burnable waste, please make sure to follow the waste classification rules of your local government.

The tightly woven, deep circle seems to be filled with the meaning of “treasuring each encounter”.

Whether it’s a one-time encounter or someone you’ve spent a long time with,
the time you spend sharing something in the same space is irreplaceable,
and it will warm your heart again and again, enriching your life.

We hope you will be blessed with good fortune next year too.
