I think some people have seen the big Kadomatsu of Ginza Mitsukoshi during the New Year.
The Kadomatsu of Ginza Mitsukoshi is Kanto-style, with a long Wakamatsu arranged around three bamboos (using "zundo"). The lower part is made of general straw and is wrapped in cedar skin.
The binding of this cedar skin roll is three-tiered, three-fold, five-fold, and seven-fold, in order from the top, and this is due to Mitsukoshi's trademark "Koshi". It is said that there are 3, 5, 7, and 7, depending on the number.
The knot is made of rough rope from the top in a shape that resembles a happy "crane", "ume" and "tortoise shell".
