Shopping for shimekazari
Gallery - Shopping for shimekazari
Shimekazari are a type of New Year decoration in Japan. You will find several posts on City-cost explaining what they are. This post is a gallery of some of the traditional shimekazari I have seen while shopping for New Year decorations the past few days. You can find character Shimekazari in a separate post.
Asyou can see in the photo gallery in this post, there are many different types. Some have additional decorations attached, such as an amulet or a horse character, because 2026 is the year of the horse. They vary greatly in price too.

Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com
