HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

This year is the year of the Horse.

We have animal symbols in each year such as the Rat, the Ox, the Tiger, the Hare (Rabbit), the Dragon, the Serpent (Snake), the Horse, the Ram (Sheep), the Monkey, the Cock (Rooster), the Dog, the Boar.

In the Old Style, the time of the Horse is about 2 hours around the noon. And the year of the Horse stands in the center of this twelve horary signs.

At the present day, the year of the Horse represents a significant leap in life.

Hi! I’m an enthusiastic Kimono consultant, the manager of Project Japan. Beyond work, I love kimonos, relaxing in onsens, exploring music, and traveling. When it comes to food, I have a soft spot for traditional Japanese cuisine and enjoy Japanese sake, wine, whiskey, and coffee.
As a web and video producer, I keep up with the latest in tech.
