A Shimekazari is a traditional New Year’s ornament made of rice straw, displayed indoors or outdoors to welcome the Toshigami deity at the start of the year.
The Shimekazari introduced here is crafted mainly in Edogawa, Tokyo, using rice straw harvested in the surrounding regions, including Tsukuba in Ibaraki and Narita in Chiba Prefecture.
The rice straw used is harvested before the grains have fully ripened.
The harvest takes place around August, during the height of summer.
Since it becomes too hot to work during the day, the process begins early in the morning while it is still cool.
The cut rice straw is then carefully dried over time and stored in a cool, shaded place.
The harvested rice straw is stacked in a cooled storage room, waiting for its turn to be crafted. Even just looking at the material itself, one can feel a sense of life, strength, and vitality.
The Shimekazari introduced here features beautifully uniform and powerful hand-twisted straw rope.
When exposed to sunlight, the straw quickly loses its green hue. However, when stored away from direct light, it retains this beautiful, fresh green color.It is made by forming the straw rope into a ring and inserting loose rice straw (sage) between the layers, allowing the straw to hang down naturally.The rope is strong and well-crafted. There are two twisting directions when making straw rope: right-twist and left-twist. For sacred or ritual use, the rope is generally twisted to the left, and the ones introduced here follow that tradition. However, depending on the region or the maker, right-twisted ropes may also be used.The number of hanging straw bundles, or sage, is often based on auspicious numbers such as seven, five, or three. In this piece, three sage hang gracefully from the ring. For delivery, each bundle is carefully tied together to protect the straw during transport. After delivery, please untie the strings around the straw bundles before displaying the ornament.It also comes with a straw cord attached for hanging, as shown here.This Shimekazari Tama comes with a large paper ornament called gohei, included together in the package. The gohei is often likened to lightning or ears of rice, both symbols of divine energy and a bountiful harvest.The gohei is made by folding layers of red and white paper together. You may separate the two sheets and choose to display only the white paper if you prefer.Because the gohei consists of two large sheets of paper layered together, it hangs neatly without curling, giving a crisp and well-balanced appearance compared to a single shide strip or plain white paper.Your order will include one gohei for each side — left and right. To attach them, fasten the two sheets together with a stapler or tape, then insert them between the straw ring and the hanging bundles (sage).Now, let’s take a look at each size. This one is the Extra Small size.It has a charming, petite size.This one is the Small size.This one is the Medium size.This one is the Large size.A generously sized piece—large enough to cover your face, with a strong and striking presence.This one is the Extra Large size.It has a substantial weight and an impressive presence—bold and dignified in size.
Please refer to this video for instructions on how to attach the gohei ornaments.
A solid, powerful Shimekazari brimming with energy.
The Shimekazari Tama is sometimes displayed with additional decorations such as Yuzuriha (evergreen leaves), Urajiro (fern fronds), or Daidai (bitter orange).
From our shop, each Shimekazari Tama comes with two gohei paper ornaments included.
If you wish, you may add other traditional decorations of your choice when displaying it. (Please note that we do not provide these additional ornaments.)
To keep your Shimekazari in good condition, please open the package promptly upon arrival and do not leave it stored inside the cardboard box.
If you are not going to display it right away, store it indoors in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
After use, it may be taken to a Shinto shrine for disposal, or treated as burnable household waste. If disposing as waste, please be sure to follow your local municipality’s guidelines.
Ideal as a decoration for your entrance — on doors, door frames, or interior walls. Its form is beautiful from any angle.
Please choose the size that best suits your space.
