New Year display

Happy New Year! Akemashite Omedetou!

(bamboo arrangement is displayed at Kyoto Station )

 Christmas displays at department stores, grocery stores and stations are changed to New Year displays over the night. The change is so sudden but through.

Various colored chrysanthemums, plum branches are put into bamboo stems and put on red carpet and places in front of gold screen. 

Gold and red are regarded as happy color representing lighthearted atmosphere of a new year. 

We had an unprecedented disaster last year so I pray for a peaceful year.

      

 

The picture below is ordinary New Year’s pine and bamboo decorations. The flower arrangement above was done by new  style of arranging flowers.
