The shimenawa of Ise Jingu Shrine uses "asa" (hemp). There is also a Buddhist story about the Buddha using Japanese rush to weave a mat (bed) to treat the sick, so it has a deep connection with Japanese people since ancient times and is treated as a sacred grass. ✴️ Sei-asa (Hanging Cord) Essential for Shinto rituals since ancient times, sei-asa is also known as "a medium for the gods." The shimenawa of shrines are also made of sei-asa. It is said that sei-asa can perform fundamental purification that cannot be achieved with water or salt. ✴️ Mimosa The flower language of mimosa is "gratitude," "friendship," "secret love," and "elegance." ✴️ Hemp Paper (Handle) Paper made from hemp as a raw material. ✴️ Double Kanau Musubi (Watermark Knot) A common amulet knot said to grant wishes.
