The 2nd day of new year is one of the biggest shopping day in Japan. It's similar as the friday after Thanksgiving. People crash to shops and department stores to get "Hukubukuro" (fortune bag) which includes varioius valuable goods worth more than the value. Maybe it's same that people tend to enjoy shopping after a huge holiday when they are filled with satisfied feeling caused by long days off.
Like the rest, I bought what I longed to get!! Ray, I got it!! Personally, I don't like multifunction celler because I can hardly have chance to use full of them. So this on really fulfilled my needs. LIghtness, slimness, and stylish design. Thankfully, this mobile has predictive transform function even in English text messaging. I'll be able to blog this from cell phone in near future...

Happy New Year

NEW YEAR YOSE

Wonderful new year is coming. Thanks you for all the kindness of reading this, and please encourage me this year to keep blogging. In the last two years, I went to Japanese traditional variety entertainment ("Yose") in New Years holiday with my family. In Yose, a variety of artist do performance, as short comic chat ("Konto"), storyteller's performance ("Rakugo"), magic, marionette, etc. Especially in New year season, they provide lion dance ("Shishi-mai"(photo: from Kunitachi city) ) which is usually performed only in happy occasions like holiday, festival and so on. Though it still tell us classy sense of humor in Japanese original culture, nowadays we could hardly have chance to see these old-fashioned entertainment. To absorb different culture is important, but futhermore, I want to learn, feel, and know more mother culture.
