A Sacred Presence at Hand – The Platinum Shimenawa Bangle (Limited Edition)
“Jewelry is more than mere ornament.”
So says sculptor Kenichi Asano.
Since ancient times, adornments have served as symbols of protection and sacred boundaries—tools for aligning the mind.
This piece is a fully platinum Pt900 reinterpretation of the “shimenawa,” a sacred rope rooted in Japanese mythology.
It invites you to quietly awaken the feeling of carrying a divine boundary around your wrist.
■ Sculpted Elegance: The Structure of Shimenawa
Crafted from three strands of platinum wire, the traditional twisted structure of the shimenawa is brought into refined three-dimensional form.
Modeled with 0.01mm precision, each cast is polished by hand to reveal platinum’s serene, weighty brilliance.
For comfort, the reverse is flattened.
Connection points have been redesigned—from rounded to sleek, angular geometry—to embody modern refinement.
■ The Gentle Movement of "Shide"
Two small charms dangle from the bangle—modeled after “shide,” the zigzag paper streamers found at Shinto shrines.
Modest in scale and forged from Pt900, these pieces sway softly with movement, offering a quiet ritual that brings focus and calm.
The connecting rings also use Pt900 platinum with a thickness of 0.6–0.7mm, striking a balance between elegance and durability for everyday wear.
■ A Shrine in Your Space – The Torii Display Stand
Included with this model is an exclusive torii-style display stand (not for sale), inspired by the gates of Shinto shrines.
Placing the bracelet onto the stand invites mindfulness into the ritual of wearing and removing it.
Let a quiet corner of your daily life become sacred—
This object is not just jewelry, but a sensory experience that transforms both space and spirit.

For easy maintenance, please use the silver polishing cloth, sold separately. When using the silver polishing cloth, gently rub the surface of the item to restore its shine. If you are concerned about stickiness due to sweat, etc., gently rinse with warm water and mild detergent.
*Please refrain from using a polishing cloth on the gold anklet as it will remove the gold plating.
