こんにちは。
ジェニです。
Today I would like to introduce you to the Japanese tradition of good luck charms.
When you go to a New Year's visit to the shrine, you buy a lucky charm to bring you happiness.
There are many kinds of lucky charms, such as Manekineko(招き猫), cranes(鶴), and daruma dolls(だるま).
And then you buy a fukubukuro(福袋), a bag that is supposed to contain something better than the price of the bag, but you don't know what it contains.
縁起物(Engimono、lucky charm )
招き猫(Maneki Neko、beckoning cat)
鶴(Tsuru, crane)
門松(Kadomatsu,)
福袋(Fukubukuro, mystery package with a variety of articles possibly worth more than the purchase price)
Have a good day.
じゃあまたね。
