Since ancient times, the gourd (hisago) has been regarded as a symbol of good fortune, used as a charm for warding off evil, inviting happiness, and ensuring family prosperity.
Its rounded, tapering form represents “suehirogari” — the belief that things will grow and flourish beautifully.

A small, palm-sized shimekazari with a softly rounded, endearing shape.

A shimenawa marks a sacred boundary where deities descend.
It acts as a spiritual barrier, keeping impurities and evil spirits away.
Hanging a shimenawa at the entrance symbolizes a home prepared to welcome the Toshigami-sama, the deity of the New Year.

Traditionally, New Year’s preparations 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 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.
