Bridging Cultures: The Japan Shogatsu Association℠ and the Significance of Japanese New Year

We, the Japan Shogatsu Association℠, aim to share the allure of Japan’s traditional New Year culture with people around the world. For those living abroad, Japanese New Year may be an unfamiliar tradition. This is likely because, especially for Christians, Christmas holds the utmost significance. However, in Japan, traditionally, New Year is the most popular annual event.

Until now, Japanese people have not fully realized or actively promoted the disparity in importance between New Year in Japan and in other countries. As a leading authority in spreading the untapped charm of the New Year, the Japan Shogatsu Association℠ is committed to showcasing its significance to the world.
