This will be my last post for 2022.
Thanks for reading this year.
In Japan, things change quickly after Christmas.
Christmas trees are put away and New Year’s decorations are displayed to welcome the New Year.

Izutsuya, a department store in Kitakyushu City, intentionally left it this way.
The one on the right is called “shimekazari”.
The entrance door it is placed the shimekazari, a small rope made from rice straws, with carefully crafted zigzag-shaped paper strips called shide.
I introduced this scene because it is unique to Japan, where Japanese and Western cultures are mixed together, and this scene changes over the New Year.
日本語
日本では25日を終えると一気に正月飾り一色に。
クリスマスツリーなどは片付けられます。
北九州市の地場の百貨店、井筒屋では31日までクリスマスツリーが残っています。
日本でも珍しい光景かなと思い紹介しました。
今年も投稿を読んでいただきありがとうございます。
良いお年をお迎えください。
