This Shimekazari is called “Harmonious.”
A single length of hand-twisted rice straw rope is shaped into a circle,
adorned with rice ears still filled with grains.
The circle—without beginning or end—has long been regarded as a symbol of eternity and continuity.
Because it has no corners like a square, it also represents harmony, balance, and the richness of human connection.

This Harmonious Shimekazari features an abundance of rice ears, sun-dried under the open sky.
Like these ears of rice—each sprouting from a single grain and yielding many more—
it seems to embody the idea that every small effort and quiet act, when continued with care, will one day bear fruit.
As with all Shimekazari, it carries wishes for prosperity and well-being in many forms—
health, family harmony, and success in one’s endeavors.
The Harmonious series is available in two sizes: “Extra Small” and “Small,” shown here from left to right.

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.



Despite this variation in thickness, the finished Harmonious wreath appears perfectly balanced—a beautifully shaped circle that feels both natural and complete.

According to the artisan, when twisting the rope, they carefully adjust the amount of straw midway to create this gradual thinning. Although it may appear simple, it requires great precision and skill—a tightly woven rope full of strength and vitality.













It can be displayed as a hanging ornament on either side of your entrance door.
The “Small” size radiates a vibrant energy, filling the space with a lively and uplifting atmosphere.


The compact XS size is perfect for those displaying a Shimekazari for the first time.
Indoors, it looks lovely placed in a spot where it catches the eye—
its gentle presence may bring a moment of calm whenever you see it.

It is also lovely to keep on display throughout the year, long after the New Year season has passed.

The circular form is often seen as a symbol of connection—
of relationships gently linking together and good fortune continuing in harmony.
It feels as though this piece fosters warmth among people,
balancing the energy of a space and creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere.
The softly draping rice ears carry a quiet grace, evoking openness and ease—
reminding us to accept things as they are and to find peace in simplicity.

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.

Its form is one you could gaze at endlessly—radiant with life, like the sun that bestows warmth and joy,
yet gentle and serene, like the full moon that brings quiet comfort.
It feels like a constant presence, always there, offering a sense of calm and reassurance that never fades.

The Harmonious series has been part of our collection since the very first year we began offering Shimekazari.
It has become one of our signature pieces, and we believe its enduring appeal lies in its perfectly balanced, timeless form—
almost like a golden ratio brought to life.
May it bring a sense of wholeness and quiet fulfillment,
and may the year ahead be one of abundance and contentment.
Please choose the size that best suits your space and preference.
