By the way, you can always find out the biggest Shimenawa in Japan at Miyajidake Shrine, Fukutsu-shi, Fukuoka.
In Japanese normal families, they use it as yorishiro around New Year’s Day. Lately, it has almost been usual to begin displaying Shimenawa at your entrance or your household shrine from Christmas Day to 28 of December. They say it is impolite to put that after 29 of December because it looks like cramming for coming deities.
