🎬 Emma is an exchange student from Canada. On December 30, her host brother Kenta tells her about Shogatsu.
| Emma | Kenta, why is there a pine tree decoration by the front door? |
|---|---|
| Kenta | That's a kadomatsu. It helps the New Year god find our house. |
| Emma | A god comes to your house? That sounds amazing! |
| Kenta | That's the old belief. So we clean the whole house before New Year. |
| Emma | In Canada, we have a big party on New Year's Eve. What do you do? |
| Kenta | We stay home with family. On January 1, we eat osechi. |
| Emma | Osechi? Is that the food in those pretty boxes? |
| Kenta | Yes. Each food has a meaning. The black beans are for good health. |
| Emma | I love that. What about the soup with rice cakes? |
| Kenta | That's ozoni. My grandma in Kyoto makes it with round mochi and white miso. |
| Emma | Really? My host mom said she uses square mochi! |
| Kenta | Right. It's different in every region. And kids get otoshidama, too. |
| Emma | Money for kids? Now I really want to be a kid in Japan! |
