Nengazyo

a few days ago, i learned about nengazyo.

the japanese people have this tradition to send out letters every new year. if i am right, the letters are called nengazyo. it's an interesting tradition, and i really like the idea. you can write anything there(mostly about new year).

i researched about this and i found an intersting post:

Actually people spend a lot of times to prepare for NENGAZYO and write them down in December. I feel it is a kind of useless; nevertheless, there is also useful thing for the Japanese economy because people recently bought personal computers with printers only in order to save labor. The Japanese economy might get a benefit of it. It is an interesting example of a tradition of culture that leads the economy.


i got this from http://www.herb.ne.jp/~fushimi/newyear.html

It's been a while since i last sent a comment. I can't really remember when i last commented, so, i won't be commenting on everything i missed, sorry!

Anyway, my younger brother is a Japanese-geek. When he read this, he thought it's just like Sending Text Messages on New Year and Christmas.

By The way, I lost a lot of load because of that.
And I don't think everyone got all the texts, That's the downside with non-traditional mails.

so paano 'to? paki-explain pa nang mas mabuti... pinadadala lamang ba kung saan-saan? i'm sure there's more to it than just sending out letters. hm?
