This shimekazari celebrates the Horse (午), the zodiac sign for 2026.
The phrase “Uma-ku-iku” (馬九行久) is a play on words meaning “nine horses galloping,” which sounds like umaku iku in Japanese — “things go well.”
It is a symbol of good fortune and a wish for success and smooth progress in all endeavors.

A shimenawa marks a sacred space where the gods descend.
It serves as a spiritual barrier, keeping away impurities and evil spirits.
When displayed at the entrance of a home, it signifies a place prepared to welcome the Toshigami-sama, the deity of the New Year.

Traditionally, preparations for the New Year begin on December 13, known as Susuharai no Hi — the day for year-end cleaning.
It is customary to hang the shimenawa between December 13 and 31, and to remove it at the end of Matsu-no-uchi (January 8; or January 15 in some regions).

Please note:

The 29th is sometimes avoided as it can be read as “double hardship” (ni-jū-ku), though some interpret it as fuku (good fortune).
The 31st is called Ichinichi Kazari (one-day decoration) and is traditionally considered inauspicious.
