Kadomatsu are arrangements of pine and diagonally cut bamboo placed outside Japanese doorways at New Year. They are meant as a landing place for the toshigami, the deities of the incoming year.

Pine stands for longevity, bamboo for growth, and plum blossom is sometimes added for steadfastness. After about a week they are ritually burned.
