☆What’s Japanese New Year like?☆

New Year (shogatsu or oshogatsu) is the most
important holiday in Japan. Most businesses shut
down from January 1 to January 3, and families
typically gather to spend the days together.

January 1 is a very auspicious day, best started by
viewing the new year’s first sunrise (初日の出hatsu-hinode),
and traditionally believed to be representative for the
whole year that has just commenced. Therefore, the
day is supposed be full of joy and free of stress and
anger, while everything should be clean and no work
should be done.

On New Year’s Day, Japanese people have a custom
of giving money to children. This is known as
“otoshidama”. It’s handded out in small decorated
envelopes called “pochibukuro”. In the Edo period,
large stores and wealthy families gave out a small
bag of mochi and a Mandarin orange to spread
happiness all around. The amount of money given
depends on the age of the child. It’s common for
amounts greater than 10,000 yen to be given.
