#114. Japanese Traditional lucky charm
こんにちは。
ジェニです。
Today I would like to introduce you to the Japanese tradition of good luck charms.
When you go to a New Year's visit to the shrine, you buy a lucky charm to bring you happiness.
There are many kinds of lucky charms, such as Manekineko（招き猫）, cranes（鶴）, and daruma dolls（だるま）.
And then you buy a fukubukuro（福袋）, a bag that is supposed to contain something better than the price of the bag, but you don't know what it contains.
縁起物（Engimono、lucky charm )
招き猫（Maneki Neko、beckoning cat）
鶴（Tsuru, crane）
門松（Kadomatsu,)
福袋（Fukubukuro, mystery package with a variety of articles possibly worth more than the purchase price)
Have a good day.
じゃあまたね。
