The story is entitled that way because shimenawa are used to symbolize ritual purification and to ward off evil spirits. However, Kazuya used a piece of this to end his life.
Onigiri is a rice ball.
The main characters in the story are, Kazuya, Yuko, Grandma, Jiro, and the author herself (I guess)
Naoko Kumagai
"Uncle Kazuya, my father's older brother, hung himself in the barn behind his house in Ishikari, just outside Sapporo in Hokkaido.", "As the eldest son, Kazuya was expected to stay in the house in Ishikari where he'd been born. He and Aunt Yuko brought up their two boys on the farm. I had met my uncle only once during a visit to Ishikari when I was ten, a hazy recollection, aside from his booming voice."
Distant relationship
Corruption was common in Japanese politics in Hokkaido; it was so common that people didn't particularly seem to be outraged by it.
"Kazuya went out the back door, carrying Jiro firmly under his arm. With the other hand, he picked up a circle of rope hanging on the fence by the shed. In the yard was a large oak tree with heavy, twisted branches. He wrapped the rope around my brother once, then pushed him to the trunk of the oak, winding the rope around and around."
Kazuya said, "He needs to learn to be a man."
Jiro jokes that the incident is possibly the reason he always, intuitively eats everything on his plate.
