2002: The Year of the Horse
Popular in Japan since ancient times, the junishi or eto
(rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster,
dog, and wild boar) were imported into Japan from China. The
signs cover a 12-year period, but the complete zodiac embraces
60 years, which was considered to be the total life-cycle of
man. It is believed that the character of a person is determined
by the year in which they were born. |

Gallery Shop
In December I started my very own online shop where you can buy
merchandise with my original artwork. Shirts, sweaters, cups,
mouse pads and more. All major credit cards accepted. Pretty
cool! Come and visit. |

The Japanese New Year Card
Just like people in western countries mail each other Christmas
cards, the Japanese mail each other New Year cards, or nengajo.
People often make their own nengajo, or purchase pre-printed
ones from the post office. The post office cards have lottery
numbers and allow you to win all kinds of exciting prizes. A
lucky card could make your year Happy from the very start! |
