These are called <em>Shimekazari<\/em>, and today, I\u2019d like to share the meaning behind the one I created for my home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the center, I brushed the words \u201c\u8b39\u8cc0\u65b0\u5e74 (<em>Kinga Shinnen<\/em>)\u201d in calligraphy. This is a formal New Year\u2019s greeting used in letters and scrolls. It translates to: &#8220;I respectfully offer my joy for the New Year.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the base of the decoration was pre-made, I personally wrote the greeting and pressed my newly carved <em>Hanko<\/em> (seal) to give it a personal touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Meaning Behind the Decorations Each element of the <em>Shimekazari<\/em> carries a special wish:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Rice Straw Wreath:<\/strong> Like the sacred ropes (<em>Shimenawa<\/em>) seen at shrines, this marks the entrance as a &#8220;sacred space&#8221; to welcome the deities of the New Year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Folding Fan:<\/strong> Its widening shape represents &#8220;<em>Suehirogari<\/em>,&#8221; symbolizing prosperity and a flourishing future.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Crane:<\/strong> A symbol of longevity, as it was believed cranes live for a thousand years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><em>Mizuhiki<\/em> (Decorative Cords):<\/strong> These knots symbolize the strengthening of bonds between people.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Zigzag Paper:<\/strong> These represent the paper streamers used by Shinto priests during purification rituals to ward off impurities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Personal Connection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last month, my entire family\u2014eight of us in total, including my parents, sister&#8217;s family, and my own\u2014gathered at a shrine to celebrate my 3-year-old niece\u2019s <em>Shichi-Go-San<\/em> (a rite of passage for children). During the prayer, the priest waved a wooden wand with these zigzag papers over our heads to purify us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the ones at the shrine are pure white, the paper on my New Year decoration is adorned with gold and red to suit the festive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Year-End Greetings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we approach the end of the year, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your continued patronage and support. It has been a wonderful year, and I am so grateful for the connections we have made through the art of calligraphy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope you have a wonderful holiday season filled with laughter and joy alongside your family and friends.
