New Years in Japan is very special. It's kinda like Thanksgiving or Christmas in the states. People spend time with family, eat a ton of food, watch TV and just be lazy. Commerce isn't back in full swing until sometime next week.
A wonderful side effect of the economic shut down is the beautiful clear skies we've been getting. My dad told me that back when he first came to Japan 40 years ago, pollution was so bad that the only time he could see the moon was during New Years.
Great pictures Patrick.
