Shimenawa Bangle 2027 Model|Thin
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 placement of the shide and tassels to more closely follow the true structure of a shimenawa.
While the Thick, Standard, and Extra-Thin models feature a 5-charm composition, the Thin model consists of 4 shide and 3 tassel-style plates, for a total of 7 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).
With multiple shide and tassels swaying along the slender rope, this is the most decorative and dynamic piece in the series.

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 an impression that is delicate yet substantial.
The Thin model is characterized by its clean, slender lines and the rich sense of movement created by its 7 charms.
The rope itself feels light, while the charms make a striking impression.
Slender in form, yet as it's worn, the shide and tassels sway with the movement of the wrist, creating a distinctive presence all their own.
Recommended for those who love a delicate silhouette but still want a strong decorative presence.
*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.
