正月 in Japan used to be same with the Chinese Lunar New Year but they moved it so that it aligns with the Gregorian Calendar as an effort to modernize during the Meiji era. The bamboo decoration is really cool! Thanks for bringing us around! By the way, has anyone else done any videos about Setsubun and Ehoumaki...? I think that's one of the holidays not many people think about ...
Hau'oli Makahiki Hou John and Ohana. Kadomatsu's can be of any design as long as you have a Bamboo, Pine, Plum or fruit. You can also just have the Bamboo and Pine strap to your entrance. But the most important thing to remember. Within the first 7 days into the new year. You are to remove the Kadomatsu burn it or depose it with a sprinkle of salt and prayer.
Thank you for the cozy video, and the best of luck with your iPhone! Very interesting to learn a bit about the traditional new years decoration. I hope you do a video on the golden week!
People who are upset you gave Kanae Dyson vacuum cleaner has no idea how much housework chores are headache to housewives…..it is a GREAT present coz I know how it is sooooooooo useful!
I'm dying to get back to Japan and experience the winter season there. Love seeing Kadomatsu around Ginza. I have one in my home but it's not as nice or as big. Still...loving the feel-good vibes around Ginza. Thank you for taking us around!
@@RandyLittleStudios My bad. I just checked and they're both outside. I thought one was inside but that was a floral arrangement. Lol. Thanks for letting me know.
@@michaelsasano8622 yes both outside and they are to be burned to release the Kami withing 5 to 7 days after new years depending on regional Shinto customs. Not burning them can upset Kami and bring bad luck. My wife is Okinawan so different customs than Tokyo where John is.
My best guess is that the Kadomatsu🎍 Last longer/ look cleaner outside when not cut at an angle. Water and dirt (especially trash from the streets) can’t get inside the poles if they are cut horizontally at the end of a stalk… Happy new year everybody 🎉😃
Been to Kabukiza once, bought a single act ticket on a Sunday. I was early for the next act so I went to the newly opened GINZA SIX, had coffee and went back.
John, I'm sure your audience would love to see those NYC videos from the 90s! I would, just to see the city like it was back then again! Any chance of that, or are they copyrighted by some other company?
Yeh the kadomatsu I agree I love when there all cut on the 3 different level angles too!!! Wonder why they didn't do it!!!? 🎍 LETS HOPE FOR A BETTER YEAR!!! 2022!!! 🙏 So cool they brought that little Cupid back on the corner so good!!!! I used to joke with haruna about it!!!😁
john you say the religion is not so strong in japan but my japanese friend here in uk prayed everyday after her mothers death for i think it was eighteen months. an incrediblly long time.
Hi dude i love your videos and man I'd like to visit japan post virus for 1 month and see all the akihabara and maid cafe, food stores and souvenirs too.
As for Jiro, I believe what happened was that everyone posted low star reviews, giving a low rating because the restaurant wouldn't allow photos to be taken of the sushi or of the chefs. And many were insisting of taking a photo with Jiro while he was there. I think there are sushi restaurants and chefs that allow it, but Jiro definitely doesn't.
So I had to cancel off my patreon cause of financial reasons, but my payment came out for Dec and then I canceled my subscription but I still haven't received my last box. What happened?
Kadomatsu 🎍originates from China to Japan during the Heian Period. Pine represents long life and somehow it became what we see today with 3 bamboo in different sizes. Like most things that came from the mainland, it’s took on its own shape in Japan.
Im planning a trip to Kobe in 2022, hopefully things will open up, i know a lady who is a teacher at the university of Kobe, and she wants to show me all the delicious food in her city, so god damn, this virus better shut down soon.
Considered inappropriate by whom, specifically? Where I am from, a household appliance is considered a wonderful (and useful) Christmas or birthday gift. I hope that you can understand that there are places in the world that are quite different from yours.
no john, a household appliance is a household appliance for both your benefits in the home . you never give as xmas or birthday gift. its a no no, a cause for divorce. So un-romantic. no excuses. lol,.
Maybe Japanese people think differently than we do. Well, not maybe, they definitely do. Try to realize we all have different measures of what's acceptable and not

It's not a decoration. It's a Shinto religious article.

Tall one for heaven, middle one for man, short one for earth. Yeah don't know why not the cut is not done used to be at an angle facing front.

Happy New Year to you all. For better 2022🥳🥳🥳

If it's in your house the Kami are not coming, and you are supposed to have 2. One on each side of door and touching the ground or foundation.
@@RandyLittleStudios I have one in my house and another outside at my front door right up against the siding. So I need both outside?

Can pre-order now Gil Asakawa's book on paperback on Amazon. (title US release date on May 24, 2022 - title Canada release date on June 3, 2022).

How long is it until it's 2022 in Japan?

Ah I missed another live stream.
Ginza is for the really posh and high end stores = boring stuff you can find in any country.
16:19 that girl is too big to still sit a in a stroller, no? or is that something you see more often in japan?
Yikes.. no
You never give your wife an appliance for Christmas or birthdays. It's considered an inappropriate gift in a lot of ways
Maybe where you're from. Does your logic and experience apply to Japan?

I think japan has lost its own spirit after 1945 onwards ..
