Although shōgatsu means January, it is generally celebrated for the first three days or the first week of January and is the most important period for the Japanese. Schools and businesses close for one to two weeks after about December 29, and many people who live away from their families return home to spend this time with their families. To prepare for shōgatsu, a general house cleaning is done, and New Year’s pine and bamboo decorations, sacred straw festoon, and round mirror-shaped rice cakes are set out. On New Year’s Eve, bells speeding the old year are rung at temples and the New Year is welcomed by eating year-crossing noodles. On New Year’s Day, many wear Japanese-style garments and people go for the first temple or shrine visit of the New Year and pray for health and happiness in the new year. Shōgatsu is also enjoyed by reading New Year’s cards and by children receiving New Year’s gifts.
