Shimekazari Straw Wreath {Snake}

Shimekazari designed to capture the graceful form of the "Snake" (Mi), the zodiac sign for 2025. Shimekazari is a traditional Japanese wreath crafted from shimenawa (sacred rice straw rope), traditionally hung on the front door during the New Year to invite good fortune and ward off bad spirits. 

This snake-themed wreath, representing the zodiac sign for 2025, is handcrafted by a skilled artisan in Akita Prefecture, northern Japan, using natural rice straw. It’s not only ideal for New Year’s celebrations but can also be displayed year-round as a symbol of protection and prosperity.

This decoration can be hung on the wall inside house to enjoy all year round.
It has a loop for easy hanging.

Due to the natural variations in rice straw, the form and overall length may differ slightly from piece to piece.
