This type of Shimekazari is known as a “Tama” ornament.

It features a circular ring representing a jewel, paired with a bundle of rice straw—called sage—that hangs gracefully below.
It is traditionally displayed at the entrance of the home.

From left to right in the photo, the Tama ornaments are available in five sizes:
Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large.

When making your selection, please check the exact outer measurements listed at the top of the page.

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 crafted mainly in Edogawa, Tokyo, using rice straw harvested in the surrounding regions, including Tsukuba in Ibaraki and Narita in Chiba Prefecture.

The rice straw used is harvested before the grains have fully ripened.

The harvest takes place around August, during the height of summer.

Since it becomes too hot to work during the day, the process begins early in the morning while it is still cool.

The cut rice straw is then carefully dried over time and stored in a cool, shaded place.

The harvested rice straw is stacked in a cooled storage room, waiting for its turn to be crafted.
Even just looking at the material itself, one can feel a sense of life, strength, and vitality.

The Shimekazari introduced here features beautifully uniform and powerful hand-twisted straw rope.

Please refer to this video for instructions on how to attach the gohei ornaments.

A solid, powerful Shimekazari brimming with energy.

The Shimekazari Tama is sometimes displayed with additional decorations such as Yuzuriha (evergreen leaves),
Urajiro (fern fronds), or Daidai (bitter orange).

From our shop, each Shimekazari Tama comes with two gohei paper ornaments included.

If you wish, you may add other traditional decorations of your choice when displaying it.
(Please note that we do not provide these additional ornaments.)

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.

Ideal as a decoration for your entrance — on doors, door frames, or interior walls.
Its form is beautiful from any angle.

Please choose the size that best suits your space.
