These are called “Naisage” and “Itajime” Shimekazari. The top one in the photo is Naisage, and the bottom one is Itajime.
Both are Shimekazari with thin Shimenawa(sacred rope) and rice straw hanging down like a curtain. Among Shimekazari, the one that is made by braiding rice straw into a straight rope is called a “Shimenawa(Sacred rope)”.
They are often displayed in front of entrances, on household Shinto altars, and in shopfronts, and they are sometimes specially ordered to match the frontage of shopping arcades and Ryokan(Japanese-style inns).
We sell in units of approximately 180 cm(70.87″). （The photo above is approximately 180 cm.)
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 mainly made in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, and uses rice straw harvested in Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Pref., and the Narita area of Chiba Pref.
Rice straw, also called “green harvest”, harvested before the rice has ripened.
Rice straw harvesting takes place in the peak of the summer heat, around August.
Since it is too hot to work during the day, they start early in the morning while it is still cool, and then dry the harvested rice straw well over time and store it in a cool, dark place.
The harvested rice straw was piled up in a warehouse with air conditioning and was waiting for its turn to be used. Just looking at the material of rice straw, you can feel something like life, strength and momentum.
The one we will introduce here is a powerful and well-made rope Shimekazari.
This is “Naisage”.It is made from a relatively thin rope.Many of the Naisage and Itajime are decorated with “shide” (paper streamers).The straw that hangs down is braided into the rope.This is “Itajime”.The rope of the Naisage is twisted, but this rope is finished with a braid.The straw that hangs down is also braided into the rope.We will deliver 4 paper streamers per 180cm(70.87”) in the package. Please check the video for how to attach them.
Please check the video here for how to attach it.
It is said that the Shimenawa represents clouds and the shide represents lightning, and since lightning often occurs during the rice-growing season, lightning was considered sacred.
If you are ordering more than one length, you will need to purchase in increments of 180cm. For example, if you want to purchase 360cm, you will need to purchase 180cm x 2, so 360cm will be added to your cart. If you want to use it in a length that is not in increments of 180cm, please cut the rope at the length you need and tie the ends together with string or wire.
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.
Nisage or Itajime for the entrance and the household Shinto altar. Please choose whichever you prefer.
