New Year's Card


In Japanese New Year’s Day, there is a traditional custom. Many Japanese send New Year’s card to their friends, relatives, seniors of company etc in New Years Day. If people got the card from person who they did not send, people send the card as a return. What is New Year’s card? I will introduce about New Year’s card.
New Year’s card is greeting card. When we write it, we use a postcard. People write an address and greetings. The greetings sometimes includes about asking receiver’s recent condition as politeness. The old write message with a writing brush or fountain pen, however recently many people write with an internet typewriter. The styles of writing are getting change, but this tradition continues strongly in Japan.
