This Shimekazari is called “Halo.”
“Halo,” also written as “Divine Light,” refers to the radiant glow said to emanate from the bodies of Buddhas and bodhisattvas.
The circular or ray-like forms often seen behind figures such as Amida Buddha or the Thousand-Armed Kannon express this sacred light.
Such imagery is not unique to Buddhism — in Christian art, too, a halo or gentle radiance often surrounds holy figures as a symbol of purity and grace.
In nature, the word “halo” can also describe the sunbeams that stream through breaks in the clouds after rain — soft, radiant light that feels almost divine.
This Shimekazari embodies that quiet radiance — a wish for peace, calm, and days untouched by turmoil.
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 made locally in southern Nagano, using rice straw harvested in the area.
The makers are involved in every step, from cultivating and harvesting the rice straw to crafting each Shimekazari by hand.
The rice straw is harvested early, before the grains ripen, during the hot summer months of July and August.
This Shimekazari is made with the same high-quality rice straw used for constructing sumo wrestling rings. The fresh green straw is carefully twisted and braided by hand.
This video shows the rice straw harvest, which we documented on site. Please take a look.This Shimekazari represents the forms of the sun, the earth, and the moon.The circular part is made in the same way as the lids once used to seal both ends of traditional rice bales. In this piece, it symbolizes the sun.The way the rice straw fans outward seems to express the radiant, overflowing energy of the sun.Depending on the angle, the rice straw reflects a natural, glossy sheen—showing the fine quality of the material used.The two rings behind the center appear like rays of sunlight radiating outward. The larger ring represents the Earth, while the smaller one symbolizes the Moon. (Please note that the positioning of the rings may vary slightly from piece to piece.)From the circular center, fine strands of straw hang straight downward—shorter in the front and longer toward the back—representing the soft rays of sunlight streaming through breaks in the clouds.It comes with a hanging cord made of rice straw, allowing it to be easily displayed.Compact in size, it fits comfortably within both hands. Its gentle, rounded form has a warmth to it—almost like a small figure that brings a quiet sense of comfort and calm.
Display it on your front door, a living room wall, or even in the kitchen or washroom. Its crisp, radiant form seems to fill the space with a sense of freshness and clarity.
It also fits beautifully in slender spaces such as window frames or along a pillar. This Shimekazari can be enjoyed not only for the New Year, but throughout the year as a graceful, everyday decoration.
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.
Though small enough to rest in both hands, “Halo” evokes a grand vision—one that feels as vast as nature or the cosmos itself.
Its form is both endearing and serene, radiating quiet strength and grace.
Just as the sun’s rays breaking through heavy clouds bring a calm to the heart and a sense of hope for what lies ahead, this piece seems to hold the gentle promise of brighter days to come.
May the coming year be filled with peace and light.
