We use lemongrass cultivated without pesticides last year. Because it's a turtle made of lemongrass, it's called "Kame Lemon" (Turtle Lemon). Its shell is approximately 4cm square, a truly adorable size. The mizuhiki (decorative paper string) and awaji musubi (knot) resembling sardines are all handmade, so no two are exactly alike (//∇//). We've used bean husks, holly, long red chili peppers, Nandina domestica (sacred bamboo), wax myrtle, and wild rose instead of the easily-falling berries of the Nandina. The lemongrass is not processed with the same hygiene standards as for tea. Made by a rough-handed satoyama (mountain village) mother (//∇//) If the ties loosen during shipping, please just laugh and fix it, saying "Shya-nai naa!" (It can't be helped!) (≧∀≦)ノ We will ship via Yu-Packet Post. It will be slightly compressed, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. #SetsubunDecoration #Lemongrass #SetsubunSwag #EvilRepelling #Setsubun
