Shimenawa Bangle — Delicate, 2027 Model (Brass × Silver925)

Shimenawa Bangle 2027 Model | Delicate — Brass × Silver925 A brass rope paired with Silver925 shide and tassels. The Delicate model combines a clean, slender line with the richest movement in the series — seven charms in total. Slim in profile but high in ornamentation, it carries real presence even worn alone. About the 2027 Model The Delicate model is built from seven charms combining shide and tassels (4 shide × 3 tassels). As the shide sway and overlap, they create a fine, rhythmic expression quite different from a single large charm. Every charm now bears the maker's engraved signature mark on its reverse. Background This series began with a sculpture — an arm roughly 3 meters tall, exhibited at Shimogamo Shrine. This bangle reconstructs that large-scale sculptural image into a form that can be worn on your own wrist.
