Pre-Order: Shimenawa Wreath “Season's Greetings” Greeting Card

Shimenawa (標縄) are ropes typically crafted from rice husk fibres tied with carex weed before being twisted together. The ropes are traditionally used to demarcate a space considered to be sacred or ritually pure, and are believed to be ward off evil spirits and bad fortune. For this reason, the ropes are found not only at the entrance of Shinto shrines and tied around sacred trees, but fashioned into wreaths to hang at home, especially during the New Year season. My design features a wreath decorated with festive plum blossom, with two fluffy shima enaga (シマエナガ) birds perched in the middle.
