Happy New Year.  


In Japan, people call the New Year Oshōgatsu. Japanese people pay a lot of attention to this annual event. They prepare Osechi food for it. This food is a traditional type of food which has unique colors and shapes. They call them lucky names and they say they have lucky colors. They hope to have good luck in various areas of life in the new year. People visit their families and some temples and shrines.
