I took these photos last January. They are decorations around Fukushima City. The decorations are in honor of New Year’s Day, so they are only seen at this time.  (New Year’s Day is celebrated according to the western calendar in Japan, so it starts on January first.)

The decorations can be made by hand, but I think most people purchase them ready made. What do you think of them?

2018 is the year of the dog….so have a Bow Wow year!
