A Happy New Year to Everyone!
I DO wish the year 2019 will be a prosperous and healthy one for all of you
In Japan, to prepare for new year, we decorate arranged flower inside of the front door. Don't you think mine is wonderfully arranged?  As I was so busy at the end of last year, I bought this beautiful one at the flower-shop. Owner is the old acquaintance of my husband's ;-)  Pine tree is the symbol of longevity and good fortune.  Link page with long explanation about it. We also decorate "Shimekazari" outside of the front door. They are for protection of the year and welcoming the Gods etc.

The two arrangements below are the ones professionally done by my husband's former lady colleague. Left is the one for this New Year. Right is the work from last summer. She kindly sends me her works sometimes.   
"賀正" means "Happy New Year" expressed by only two Chinese Characters. These are the new years decoration from the cake shop.

*Year-Crossing Soba-Noodles*
My husband makes soba noodle for our acquaintances every year. This year for 27 people ;-) We have a custom eating year-crossing soba-noodles 「年越し蕎麦」 for new year's eve dinner.  For most Japanese families, having this soba-noodle with family member quietly at home means to greet a happy next year.  "wishing to have a thin long happy life" year-crossing noodles (link page) .



*New Year’s Visit to a Shrine (hatumoude)*
 Yesterday (on 2nd), we visited Shine to do Hatumoude  (link page) .
According to the Chinese Zodiac sign, this year is the year of Boar. I was born in the sheep year. If you are interested in what year you were born, you can check yours and your character from this page.


Some days ago, I had a LUCK to take a video of male Rdstart having an itchon his face at the last scene p;-)  And the two pictures are taken on the same day.
