The year began without hurry.
Dressed in a formal kimono, Coquelitta stood beneath soft lantern light as winter night settled around her. A quiet Shōgatsu moment — composed, deliberate, and new.

For Kyushu friends: Another strong surge of cold air around Jan 2nd. Potential for snow accumulation over N Kyushu and highlands. Stay turned for more details. (The chart for Jan 2nd). #kyushu #snow #shogatsu

Japanischer #Buddhismus in voller Blüte – heute am Beginn des #Obon-Festes! Seinen Ursprung findet das Fest in Legenden & Mythen eines einstigen buddhistischen Mönchs. Neben #Hanami und #Shogatsu ist Obon eines der drei wichtigsten Feierlichkeiten in #Japan. (1/2)

Midnight #mochi made earlier today at #shogatsu. They look attractive because I was not involved 😂 shout to my sister niece and nephew 🙇🏻♂️
A beautiful and thoughtful Shogatsu gift from a beautiful and thoughtful friend. #JapaneseNewYear #shogatsu

New Year rituals serve to reinforce social bonds and strengthen collective identities through feasts and festivities. This sense of togetherness can be seen in many New Year celebrations, including #Nowruz, #RoshHashanah, #EidalFitr, #Diwali, #Shogatsu, #Hogmanay, #ChineseNewYear, etc. ⬇️
While Shōgstsu is typically celebrated during the first three days of January, its observance traditionally lasts for weeks, ending at the start of Lunar New Year. Happy Shōgatsu, everyone! 💙
