This is May in Japan.
Today we enter 2015 year.
It is a holiday today.
New Year is called "Osyo-gatsu" in Japanese.
It is written in Japanese as お正月.
It is a very important day for Japanese people.
We have to go for a New Year's visit to a Shinto shrine.
Many people visit to give thanks of one year and pray for the safety and peace of the New Year.
There are many kinds of Shinto shrines in Japan.
A shrine to a God of learning, a shrine to a God of the road safety, a shrine to a God of the love accomplishment...etc
We go to the Shinto shrine depending on our wish and pray.
We predict the year ahead with a fortune, when we go to the Shinto shrine.
The fortune is called "Omikuji" in Japanese.
We are looking forward to drawing a fortune.
Anyway, may this year be another good one!!
