Making okazari (New Year decorations) at a crafts shop in Arashiyama, Kyoto.
Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.
I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

Looks like fun. Are these the ones people put over the door or above/on the gate?

@marc: Thanks marc!
