 My house is clean, clean, clean!  Now we just have to rid it of evil spirits.  I'm told I can do this with a 
Shimekazari.  Oosouji is the huge once a year deeeep cleaning of your house, car, etc...  I guess it has to be done before the new year begins.

The back room of the farmer's market I so love was filled with an array of these Shimekazari ranging in price from 200-yen for a tiny one in the photo below all the way up to a 5,000-yen more ornate one.


 Most of the customers were buying the size above.  They are all around 550-yen.

 There were also many people purchasing 
Kadomatsu.  These small, pre-made versions were all around 1,800-yen.

This was the scene outside where they were selling the various parts of the Kadomatsu as well as a couple of huge Kadomatsu at the entrance.
