How do you feel like whole of this year?
How can you image if you describe thaｔ?
we vote for our idea of kanji.
Every year at this time, the high priest of Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto writes down like this...
Calligraphy is a creative art form which attempts to express spiritual depth and beauty by means of kanji and kana characters written with a brush and sumi (ink).
Ad the Priest are just writing -we pronounce it 'shin' and means 'New' It describe that 'People have been worrying about accepting something new to ourselves through this year around us.
For example.. new administration of Hatoyama, spread of the new influenza virus and whatever new...
Anyway we wish we were more safely and happier and kept peace at coming next year.
Have a nice weekend!!

Your culture is so interesting and so introspective! ...mmm..let me see..2009 in just one word..well, I would choose "friendship", for having "met" such lovely people in Blogland, my Japanese friend Mami included! Arigato! :)
"Shin" in Kanji looks very much like "Xin" in Mandarin. That was a very well-thought description to the year. Do you have a personal description, for yourself, to your year?
What a very good idea. Much more reflective than western culture.
This is a wonderful tradition. "New" is a good description for my year, too.
Mami darling, for me 2009 in one word would be blessed!! What an interesting post my friend.
Love & Hugs
