Oshogatsu, The Japanese New Year's Celebration



Two more days from now will be New Year's Eve. In Japan, New Year's Day is one of the biggest holidays that is celebrated. Oshogatsu [お正月[おしょうがつ]] is the word meaning "new year."




For the past few years, I have been attending the Oshogatsu New Year's Day celebration in Los Angeles's Little Tokyo section. Little Tokyo is near downtown Los Angeles and the Civic Center.



If one is in Los Angeles, or in any U.S. city with a Japanese center, I would recommend attending the Oshogatsu celebration. The accompanying photographs were taken at the Oshogatsu celebration in Little Tokyo.
