Happy New Year 2019! Let me express the greetings of the season.
Like Christmas cards in western countries, we have New Year cards in Japan. We write and post them in December and they are deliverd in New Year's day. Along with New Year's message, we write how we have been lately. The picture below is my New Year's card. I drew it by myself, printed 100 pieces, and sent them to my relatives and friends.
Last year I traveled a lot. In Jan. enjoyed skiing in Nagano. In Mar. stayed a hotel located one of the three mystical power spots in Japan (the northern end of Noto Peninsula). In Apr. fascinated by sakura trees in Hirosaki. In May experienced tub boat in Sado island. In Aug. made a trip to France. In Oct. climbed Mt. Mitoku to see Nageiredo Buddhism hall in the cliff. The brown coloured animal in the card are wild boars because the year 2019 is the year of wild boar.
I hope you will have a great year!
Thank you for reading.
