Cost: $60
Kadomatsu is a decoration with three cut pieces of bamboo and pine for the Japanese New Year’s holiday. After Christmas, you will see this decoration at the entrances of houses and buildings in Japan. It is the land mark for the Shinto deity Toshigami-sama, to enter your home. In Japan, it has believed that Toshigami-sama comes to each family to bring happiness on New Year’s day. However, the deity only visits when he is invited. The kadomatsu decorations take on the role of sign at an entrance to welcome the deity.
