Mini Tokyo Hatsumode
Happy New Year, denizens of Mini Tokyo! To start the year with good luck, let's all wear our kimonos and prepare for Hatsumode.

Hatsumode?
Hatsumode is the first temple visit in the year. The Japanese believe that years should be completely not related to each other, so that means all debts should be payed, all promises upheld, et cetera. As such, they believe it is important to visit a Shinto Temple early in the year to pray for a good year, make wishes and get new Omamori, that are little charms that bring good luck to the bearer in certain ocasions. If you have any wishes for Hatsumode, you can share them with us in this topic.

Omamori Giveaway
In this New Year, Mini Tokyo wishes the best luck to all of its citizens, so, in a symbolic gesture, we are giving you some Omamori! Put the one you need in your avatar or signature, or maybe even print it, and hope that lady luck smiles on you! You can resize these as you wish.
