Shimenawa (Sacred Rope) for Kamidana (Household Shinto Altar) - 2 Shaku (approx. 60cm) We use blue straw for the shimenawa, which we cultivate completely ourselves from sowing to harvesting and drying. Each one is carefully handmade. Dimensions: Total Length: Approximately 80cm Diameter: Approximately 5cm Notes: Because everything is handmade, there may be slight variations in color, shape, and dimensions. Please understand. We will provide four shide (zigzag paper streamers) free of charge. Please let us know the direction you want the shimenawa to face. The photo shows the left-facing orientation.
