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.
This is a high-volume size that is enough to make it look good on its own.The rope is coiled into a “spiral” shape, forming three rings. It looks like a whirlpool.The tightly woven loop is supple, yet also feels strong and resilient.In Shimekazari, spirals and swirls are sometimes used to represent ripples on the water. The pattern of waves spreading out in layers of rings reminds us of the connections between people, as if the rings formed by people holding hands were increasing in number and spreading out.The base of the Shimenawa (called “moto”) is also a solid thickness, and it is carefully cut and made. It gives the image of a lively place where many people gather.It comes with a string made from rice straw, so you can hang it up and display it as it is.There are also three tassels hanging from the three rings.These tassels look like three people standing together in a friendly way. The three people’s open hearts are connected in a triple ring, and they are sharing the same time together, and it looks like they are feeling comfortable and happy.
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.
