The management and staff of the Hosoi Ichiba would like to wish all the forum residents a very happy new year.
To help in your own celebrations we have two items that are part of the traditional japanese celebrations, Shimenawa (標縄) and Kadomatsu (門松) - both decorations to put outside of your dwelling to welcome the spirits of the new year.
Please check out our blog at http://hosoi-ichiba.blogspot.com/ for more details and pictures, or search for Hosoi Ichiba in-world. The items are right at the landing point at the entrance gate for the market.
