This a beautifully crafted piece from the traditional Echigo Uonuma region of Niigata, Japan, made exclusively with carefully selected domestic materials.

The core structure of the decoration is woven from premium Uonuma-grown rice straw, cultivated in fertile paddies at the foot of the sacred Mt. Hakkaisan. Nourished by pristine mountain water and rich soil, this rice straw is prized for its strength, texture, and purity.

From cultivation to processing and final assembly, every step is handled by the artisan workshop Takejirō, reflecting a deep respect for materials and time-honored craftsmanship.

Inspired by the first sunrise of the New Year, it symbolizes new beginnings, hope, and blessings. It is an essential auspicious ornament for the Japanese New Year, bringing light, renewal, and positive energy into the home.
