Japanese traditions

For the new year there are a lot of traditions in Japan!
One of them is to make the new year's calligraphy.
We are listening to the teacher!!!

This was my first time and I really enjoyed it. The student next to me is not sleeping, she is very concentrated!!!!

And this is the result. It means: A lot of luck, and my name on the left!!!

They also have these bamboo's decoration in front of the door

in different style

shape, size and color!!!!

Another one is to have these mocchies (rice cake), you find them everywhere in the supermarket!
They also do some special games, the cards you have seen, and so one and so one!!!!
Not bad :-)
