This is a Shimekazari called “Celebration Chicken,” shaped to resemble a rooster.
As the deep darkness of night gradually gives way to the pale light of dawn, the rooster drives away the darkness and announces the arrival of a new morning.
Its clear, ringing call, echoing as if it could reach the heavens, seems to invite the bright sun and announce the beginning of a warm and hopeful new day.
In Japan, the rooster is one of the twelve zodiac animals.
The kanji used for the rooster is associated with ripeness and maturity, and the rooster is also considered a symbol of good fortune and prosperity.
“Celebration Chicken” is a Shimekazari made with the wish for a fruitful and abundant year ahead.
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.The shape of the chicken is simplified, but its distinctive features are clearly expressed in the simple design.The tip ends of the straw form the chicken’s head, giving it a sharp and strong expression.This is the chicken’s tail. The neatly trimmed ends of the rice straw give a sense of lively vitality.The chicken’s feet are shaped as if it were standing upright. Neatly arranged bundles of straw, like tassels, are attached to form the feet.It comes with a straw cord for hanging. The cord is positioned so that the Shimekazari hangs in good balance.It is designed to be displayed facing left, as shown in the photo. As each piece is made by hand, the angle and direction of the head and tail of the “Celebration Chicken” you receive may differ from those shown in the photo. Please be aware of this in advance.
Display it on the outside or inside of your front door.
Its dignified appearance seems to bring a sense of clarity to the space, making the surroundings feel crisp and bright.
Indoors, you can display it wherever you like, such as in the living room, dining room, or bedroom.
As the rooster is also associated with prosperity in business, it can be displayed at restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and other businesses as well.
You can also continue to display and enjoy it throughout the year, even after the New Year period has passed.
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.
“Celebration Chicken” is a reassuring presence, announcing the beginning of a new day and the start of something new.
Perhaps the rooster’s clear, ringing call is telling us, “Everything will be all right. Today will be a good day, and we can overcome whatever comes our way.”
May the year ahead be warm, bright, and filled with hope.
