- Happy New Year!I'd like to talk about the eye-catching image in this article.In Japan, there is something called the Chinese zodiac.The Chinese zodiac, also known as the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac, is based on twelve different animals.The year 2022 will be the third, the tiger.These 12 animals are closely related to the time of day and the direction of the year.Japanese people are very familiar with the 12 animals. The white thing under the tiger is a food called "mochi".I will talk about mochi in the next article. In today's Japan, many old customs are disappearing.I hope that as many of these customs as possible will remain.
- Winter is comingToday was the first day with blue sky in a long time.When I looked at Mt. Ibuki in the morning, it was covered with snow, but by the evening it had almost melted away. But on the other side of the mountain, in Nagano Prefecture, it was completely white.Mt. Ontake and the Nagano Alps were covered in snow. Ski resorts seemed to be open.I have a feeling that there will be a lot of snow this year, so I made an appointment to change the tires on my car to studless next week. It's going to be a cold winter this year.
