Shimenawa Silver Bangle – “Standard” Model

A wearable work of art, created by a sculptor.

Based on over 30 years of sculptural practice,
the form of the shimenawa is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
Each piece is designed to become a source of strength that resides within you when worn.

*Size L currently requires approximately one additional week for production.

Concept
At Shimogamo Shrine, I once created and exhibited a three-meter-tall sculpture inspired by the arm of the legendary god Susanoo.
In that work, I wrapped a real shimenawa (sacred rope) around the wrist and let shide (paper streamers) hang down.
This accessory was born from my desire to recreate that sculpture on my own arm.

"A god resides within my arm"
"A god resides in the things my hands create"
This design carries such pride and prayer.

Features & Design
The “Standard” model has been updated for the 2026 Edition.
The rope’s twists are finely carved to create a more natural and three-dimensional texture, enhancing the realistic feel of the shimenawa.
The shide have been enlarged by 10% compared to the previous model, adding presence and solemnity.
On the reverse side, my signature is engraved, increasing its value as an art piece.

With a rope diameter of 5 mm, it is easy to wear for daily use and pairs perfectly with other Shimenawa bangles for layering.
