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.
