Happy New Year!
girouetteI'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.
