Chinowa

Chinowa-a large circle crafted from chigaya (a perennial grass from the family of sedges) or straw, often seen in Japanese shrines.

Stepping through the Chinowa evokes a quiet sense of purification within the heart.

Rebirth, connection, harmony-within this small circle lies an infinite expanse of meaning.
