Kyoto street posts with pine branches and tiny pink round balls

In the Philippines there is absence of New Year ornaments. We celebrate the event with fireworks, noisemakers, and food, including trays of round fruits on New Year’s Eve. But there are no traditional decorations unlike in Japan where in the days leading to this event, one can see ornaments like bamboo, rope, round pink balls, and pine branches. This was a curiosity to me that I took few snapshots of the ornaments.

New year holiday last year in Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Unlike Christmas, New year celebration is universal even though the revelry varies in different territories of the earth. To spend New Year’s holiday in different realm every year means to take in the curiosities of this event in a particular setting. Thus, it’s a personal tradition worth keeping.
