The Great Shimenawa of Iinan
That massive shimenawa adorning the Kagura-den of Izumo Taisha is actually created by the hands of the people of Iinan Town. Iinan Town is responsible for making the Great Shimenawa of the Izumo Taisha Kagura-den, which is said to be one of the largest in Japan. Local artisans use locally produced rice straw and traditional techniques to weave each strand of this magnificent rope, which spans over ten meters in length and weighs several tons. The replacement, which occurs once every few years, is a source of great pride and a major event for the town. At the Great Shimenawa Creation Museum within the town, you can observe the production process and craftsmanship up close. Each rope is a culmination of inherited skills passed down through generations and prayers to the gods. It is a unique specialty that embodies the faith and artistry of Shimane, the land of mythology.
