Mizuhiki is the ultimate lucky charm, cultivated throughout Japanese history and tradition. Our shop was founded in 1931 and specializes in Mizuhiki decorations, including engagement gifts and gift envelopes.

Welcome the new year with shimenawa decorations made with an abundance of auspicious Mizuhiki from our engagement gift shop. [New Year's decorations] They are arranged to welcome and worship the year's deity. In typical households, decorations begin around December 27th (the 29th is associated with "waiting for suffering" and the 31st is "one-night decorations," so decorating on these days is considered unlucky). [About shimenawa decorations] New straw symbolizes warding off the rise of the old year, while the underside represents longevity, the yuzu leaf represents prosperity for descendants, and the orange represents family prosperity. Shimenawa decorations are hung to mark a pure place where the deity is welcomed, but displaying them at the entrance is said to prevent misfortune from entering from outside.
