This is a refreshing New Year's decoration made from the second harvest of carefully cultivated "Kinumusume" rice from our family farm. The second harvest refers to the ears of rice that sprout again from the cut stalks after the autumn harvest. We felt the boundless vitality of the rice ears, and used them as the material for this Japanese-style New Year's swag. Also included is a decoration befitting the New Year, featuring a craft of next year's zodiac animal, the horse, tied with rice straw from the "Kinumusume" rice. (All are natural plants. No artificial flowers are used.) We make each one by hand with care, wishing you all a fruitful and wonderful new year. ■ Shipping Notes ・Shipping will be done using the fastest anonymous shipping method (Rakuraku Mercari Bin, Nekopos), with the item placed in a clear film. ・The item will gradually dry and change to a more subdued green color.
