A Happy New Year 2006

At the beginning of the new year, Japanese appreciate the new year sunrise wishing for the success and happiness of the coming year.

As the new year holidays, which continues from December 31 until January 3 at least in Japan, are the biggest and longest national holidays, there are various traditional practice and preserved culture.
New year holidays are the time of home town return and family reunion and welcoming home prepares the traditional "Osechi" dishes in the Japanese lacquerware containers. We decorate "Kadomatsu" pine evergreen trees at the both sides of the home entrance. We exchange new year postcards informing the family news and topics.　We visit shrines to pray for the prosperous new year and women wear traditional kimonos. We would like to preserve the traditions such as new year "Shishi" Lion dancing.
