The first day of the new year is called “元旦”, pronounced ‘gan-tan’, in Japanese and it means the origin and the morning. Interestingly, the second kanji character consists of “日” (the sun or day) and “一” (one or the horizon) then it is said that it means the first morning.

夕暮れの横浜みなとみらい地区は、徐々に星がきらめくようにキラキラと輝き出す。まして年末ともなれば、クリスマスのイルミネーションとともに、鮮やかな色彩が広がりだす。
横浜赤レンガ倉庫は、クリスマスマーケットのイベントで多くの人で混雑しているが、遠くから見る建物は、落ち着いた赤が美しい。
倉庫の間には小さいながらもスケートリンクも登場し、冬らしい風景が広がる。
It’s holiday season also in Yokohama. The city is twinkling like a star and go to bed at late night.
Aka-renga, literally red bricks, was a warehouse for exporting long while and is now used for a shopping mall. In the court, the christmas market is held now.
Twinkling winter gives us a warm night.
I’ll feature the twinkle night in Yokohama again soon.
