Shimenawa is a traditional Japanese rope made from natural materials, used to mark sacred boundaries and invite purity into a space.
This piece is a hand-twisted wreath made from igusa (rush grass) and adorned with rice stalks. The natural fibers create a soft, organic texture, while the circular form symbolizes continuity and harmony.
Originally used in Japanese culture as a New Year decoration, it can also be appreciated as a year-round sculptural object, bringing a sense of calm and quiet presence into a space.
The combination of braided igusa and delicate rice grains adds subtle movement and natural beauty, making it suitable for minimal interiors or as a symbolic decorative piece.
