The central portion of the kadomatsu is formed from three large bamboo shoots, though plastic kadomatsu are available. Similar to several traditions of ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), the shoots are set at different heights and represent heaven, humanity, and earth with heaven being the highest and earth being the lowest. Some kadomatsu place the humanity and earth shoots at the same height. After binding all the elements of the kadomatsu, it is bound with a straw mat and newly woven straw rope. Kadomatsu are placed in pairs on either side of the gate, representing male and female.

  • Kadomatsu is a servant in the employ of the Nekozawa family of the Tokarev dynasty. He is Umehito Nekozawa's personal secretary. He is always seen in the company of Kuretake, Nekozawa's maid. Like Kuretake, he is sympathetic to the tragic plight of his young master's photophobia and his young mistress's nyctophobia. His name shows his connection to the spirit-world insofar that it literally means "gate pine," (門松) which is a traditional Japanese decoration of the New Year placed in pairs in front of homes to welcome ancestral spirits or kami of the harvest.
