We have about 12 types of zodiac decorations that utilize Japanese craft techniques, such as papier mache and Shigaraki ware. Now on sale at Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten online shop and directly managed stores. The zodiac sign for 2025 is “Mi”, which represents a snake. The snake, which repeatedly sheds its skin and grows stronger, is associated with “rebirth” and “resurrection,” so the Year of the Snake is said to be the year when new things begin. In addition, the sound of the “snake” may contain wishes such as “protecting oneself” and “bringing fruit.” It is also considered to be a symbol that brings good luck and protects people from disasters. At Nakagawa Masashichi Shoten, we offer decorations based on Japanese crafts that blend well into rooms with a variety of Japanese and Western styles, as well as miniature-sized decorations that are easy to display in a space-saving manner. In order to wish you good luck in the new year, we will bring you lucky charms that you will want to keep next to you.
