With you, we grow and protect the space. A dragon imbued with soul, made of sacred hemp.
The guardian dragon is crafted by artisans who purify themselves daily, cherishing the inspiration that comes at the moment their hands move. Therefore, the expression of the face and the shape of the mane are completely left to the creator's discretion. Enjoy the connection with a dragon born just for you, unique in the world.
Five reasons to choose us
1. "True purification" brought by rare domestic sacred hemp
Sacred hemp (seima) used in Japan's most prestigious rituals, such as the shimenawa of Ise Jingu. The golden fibers, polished by hand one by one, are said to dispel evil just by touching them. At 'Kyoto Asanoha', we exclusively use this rare domestic sacred hemp.
2. A sense of life as a "unique individual"
There is no fixed mold; artisans tie the dragon while feeling its breath at that moment. Each piece, born from complete handwork, has a different expression and dynamism. The moment it arrives at your hands and you open the box becomes a ritual of meeting the dragon.
3. "Serene depth" woven by indigo-dyed sacred hemp
Part of the work uses traditionally indigo-dyed sacred hemp. The contrast between the golden shining sacred hemp and the deep indigo color further enhances the dragon's holiness and strength. Please also receive the protective power of indigo.
4. "Seated style" that allows for free dialogue
Despite its adorable small size of 15-20 cm in height, it stands independently in a seated style. The direction of the face can be slightly adjusted, allowing you to change its expression to enjoy dialogue with the dragon according to your mood or the placement.
5. A "guardian presence" that walks and grows together
The dragon is born from a humble prayer that "both the creator and the dragon are still in development." It is not just a decorative item; it is a partner that walks through daily life with its owner and grows together. It brings strong protection and harmony to your daily life.
Suggestions for display: Create a "sacred space" in everyday places
In a place of prayer : Next to a household shrine or Buddhist altar, or in your own power spot. It harmonizes the energy of the space and amplifies your prayers.
In a workspace : Around your desk where creativity and intuition are required. The dragon's powerful energy supports new ideas and concentration.
For important new beginnings : A special gift for someone starting anew, such as a housewarming or business opening. It conveys your wishes for long-lasting protection.
Brand story: Adorned with light, returning to oneself.
In Japanese spirituality, hemp has been cherished as a "vessel of the gods." 'Kyoto Asanoha' reinterprets this ancient wisdom as "modern wellness."
It purifies the "stagnation" of the mind that accumulates unknowingly in daily life with the pure light of sacred hemp. It is a process of regaining your original brilliance, not adding something from the outside. This talisman, where traditional techniques from Tokushima intersect with the aesthetic sense of Kyoto, becomes a quiet companion for you to continue being yourself.

Purification method (care)
About water exposure : Sacred hemp becomes soft when wet and hard when dry. If it gets wet, please reshape it before drying to prevent distortion.
Fraying : If the tassels become disordered or frayed, slightly dampening and reshaping will easily restore them. It is a very strong fiber, so feel free to use it in your daily life.
At the end of its duty
When the dragon feels it has completed its role, or if its color changes significantly, please return it to the earth with gratitude. Whether by burning it, burying it in the ground, or taking it to a shrine's old talisman area, we would appreciate it if you could treat it with care until the final farewell.
