■ Handcrafted by a Sculptor — Shimenawa Bangle "Fu" Model
A handmade shimenawa bangle, crafted one piece at a time by Kenichi Asano—a contemporary sculptor with 20 years of experience in Buddhist statue restoration. This piece embodies the sacred atmosphere of Japanese mythology and Shinto shrines, designed as a talisman you can wear in your daily life.
■ Recommended For
・Those seeking a unique piece inspired by Japanese culture, mythology, and Shinto traditions
・Those looking for handmade, one-of-a-kind accessories to cherish for years
・Those searching for a meaningful gift with a story behind it
・Those who want to layer with other shimenawa bangles (Tai, Hoso, Gokuboso models)
■ Concept
I once created and exhibited a 3-meter-tall sculpture of an arm at Shimogamo Shrine in Kyoto, inspired by the deity Susanoo. On its wrist, I wrapped an actual shimenawa rope and hung paper streamers called shide.
This bangle was born from my desire to recreate that sculpture on my own wrist.
"The gods dwell in my arms."
"The gods dwell in what my hands create."
Each piece is designed with this conviction and prayer in mind.
■ 2026 Model Update
Our signature "Fu" model has been renewed for 2026.
・The rope's strands are now carved out by hand, creating a more natural, three-dimensional rope texture than the previous model
・Shide charms are 10% larger than before, enhancing their presence and solemnity
・An artist's signature stamp has been added to the back, elevating its value as an art piece
The 5mm diameter rope strikes a balance—not too thick for daily wear, and ideal for layering with other shimenawa bangles in the series (Tai, Hoso, Gokuboso).
