New Year Japanese Shimenawa: Red Peony with Water Droplet Design

Shimenawa are ropes woven from rice straw. Traditionally hung on shrine torii gates to signify the separation between the divine and the human realm, they are also hung on doors or at entrances, or displayed indoors during the New Year as symbols to invite good luck and avert misfortune. They are also used during joyous occasions like weddings and other celebrations, and even in vehicles, carrying auspicious connotations. Dimensions: Width 25cm, Height 45cm Please note that due to the handmade nature and the unique arrangement of natural floral materials, slight variations in size, within 5-10cm, are to be expected. ♻ Eco-Friendly Packaging Information • When shipping, we prioritize the use of recycled and reused cardboard boxes, pre-owned paper bags, or newspaper as cushioning material.
