Thank you very much for viewing. #amesfactory This is a one-of-a-kind New Year's shimekazari (sacred straw rope decoration) made with tsumami zaiku (folded fabric). It is fitting for the beginning of the Year of the Horse, and was created with a design that combines strength and splendor. The size is 19cm (7.5 inches) tall × 19cm (7.5 inches) wide × 6cm (2.4 inches) thick. It's a size that's easy to incorporate into your entrance or interior. ⸻ A golden horse, bathed in light, soars into the sky. Its momentum is a symbol of hope and brilliance for the new year. A silver crane brings good fortune, and a fan opens to create a new breeze. Pine and nandina add a touch of elegance, and the horse, enveloped in the light of dawn, flies towards the future. Wishing for a bright year like the sunshine. ⸻ 【Materials and Design】 We have combined a golden horse and a silver crane with a fan, pine, nandina, and mizuhiki (decorative cords). We have carefully crafted it to value the strength of the zodiac sign and the splendor of a New Year's decoration. ⸻ 【Motifs】 Crane: Bonds of family, leap forward, bringing good fortune Zodiac (Horse): Success, progress, advancement Mizuhiki: Connecting people Fan: Everlasting prosperity Red and white plum blossoms: Hope that blooms overcoming adversity Bamboo: Vitality, growth Pine: Marital harmony, longevity Pine nuts: Storing happiness Nandina: Turning away difficulties ⸻ Shimekazari are traditional Japanese New Year's decorations to welcome the Toshigami (New Year's deity). By displaying them at the entrance or in your room, they are cherished as a "New Year's arrangement" to welcome the good fortune of the new year. ⸻ Why not welcome the New Year with a one-of-a-kind shimekazari? We have created it with the wish that much good fortune will come your way. We create each piece with care.
