Thank you for viewing! We will start decorating from Little New Year (around January 15th), so we will ship sequentially from around the 10th. We will make it after your purchase so that we can deliver it in a fresh state. We make it using natural materials. There may be insect bites, etc. Please understand. We have carefully crafted this item with holly, nandina leaves (the red berries are prone to falling off, so we used wild rose berries instead), black bean husks, sharinbai instead of black beans, rice ears, chili peppers, sardines, and a "Laughing Gate Brings Happiness" ornament, so you can enjoy it for a year. In Japan, it has been believed since ancient times that evil spirits (oni) arise at the changing of the seasons. In the Heian period, a court event called Tsuina (expelling evil spirits) was held to ward off evil spirits. This ritual is said to be the root of the current Setsubun (bean-throwing festival) event. On Setsubun (February 3rd, this year February 2nd), there is a custom of displaying "Hiiragi Iwashi" (holly and sardine). "Hiiragi Iwashi" is a holly branch with a sardine head pierced on it. It is mainly displayed at the entrance of the house and is believed to have the effect of "warding off evil and misfortune" by warding off disasters coming from outside. "Hiiragi Iwashi" may seem like a strange custom at first glance, but it turns out that it contains the prayers of the people of the past, such as "May no disaster occur" and "May we be healthy this year." On Setsubun, why not decorate it at your entrance, thinking about these customs and wishing, "May we be healthy"? We will carefully pack and ship it, but since it is a dried flower, there is a possibility that small petals may fall off. Please understand. We will bend the tip and pack it in a box. Please gently untie it when it arrives. Size: Length: Approximately 30 cm
