Shimenawa Bangle 2027 Model｜Standard
All Silver925 Standard Model
A wearable work, crafted by a sculptor.
This Silver925 bangle is crafted based on the structure of a traditional Japanese shimenawa (sacred rope) — the rope itself, the shide (paper streamers), and the tassels.
It draws on a roughly 3-meter-tall arm sculpture exhibited at Shimogamo Shrine.
That sculpture depicted a real shimenawa wrapped around the wrist, with shide hanging down — and this bangle reimagines that image in a form you can wear on your own arm.
"A god dwells in my arm."
"A god dwells in what my hands create."
It is made with that sense of pride and prayer.
About the 2027 Model
For the 2027 Model, we revisited the previous 4-charm composition and evolved it into a structure closer to that of a true shimenawa.
The Standard model consists of 2 shide and 3 tassel-style plates, for a total of 5 charms.
The shide have been redesigned with the sharp, crisp silhouette closer to that of the original first-generation model.
Every charm is also engraved on the back with the artist's kaō (signature seal).
The rope's three-dimensional form, the sway of the shide and tassels, and the quiet luster of silver — this is a piece whose expression shifts with the movement of the wearer's wrist.
About the Standard All-Silver Model
This model is a Standard All-Silver piece, with the bangle body, shide, and tassel charms all crafted from Silver925.
Unlike the Brass × Silver model, unifying the entire piece in silver creates a calmer, more substantial impression.
The Standard model is the series' benchmark size.
Not as heavy as the Thick model, and not as delicate as the Thin model.
We aimed for a balance that holds its own presence on its own, while still being easy to incorporate into everyday wear.
This is also a great choice for those choosing a Shimenawa Bangle for the first time.
*The Limited Custom Model, in which the rope pattern is hand-carved piece by piece, is a limited item sold exclusively through the Asanoya Kenichi EC site.
This listing is for the Standard All-Silver Model, without that carved detailing.
