New Year Japanese Shimenawa

Shimenawa are ropes woven from rice straw, traditionally hung on shrine torii gates to delineate the sacred space from the human realm. When displayed at the entrance of homes or within living spaces during the New Year, they symbolize the warding off of evil spirits and the welcoming of good fortune. They are also used to adorn the surroundings of celebratory events like weddings, and even inside vehicles, all carrying auspicious meanings. Dimensions: Width 25cm, Height 45cm Please note that due to handmade craftsmanship and the natural variations in floral arrangements, a size difference of 5-10cm is possible. ♻ Eco-friendly Packaging Statement • When shipping, we prioritize the use of recycled and reused cardboard boxes, pre-owned paper bags, or newspaper as cushioning material.
