Add a touch of authentic Japanese spiritual tradition to your home with this shimenawa sacred rope, crafted in Japan from straw, hemp, and traditional mizuhiki paper. Hung on a kamidana home altar, this offering rope marks it as a more special, sacred place. Simply use the included cord to tie it to a shelf or other altar frame.
In Shinto practice, the shimenawa acts as a boundary separating the everyday world from holy spaces, marking the area beneath it as sacred. This large 1.5 shaku size measures 17.7 by 1.0 by 4.3 inches and weighs about 24 grams; it's also available in two other sizes, so choose according to the size of your altar.
Since each rope is handmade, subtle natural variations mean every piece is one of a kind. Because some parts use paper, keep it away from moisture to preserve its delicate details.
