Later in the afternoon Anton and I went to the local shrine to pray for a good golf score and all kinds of other important things for 2007, bought some groceries and headed back up the hill to watch some rented DVDs.

New Year in Akazawa
New Year again in Akazawa. Every January First it is the ritual of pounding boiled rice to make the "mochi". This year the management office had procured a stone cauldron to do the pounding in. Mr Hoshi, laughing behind me, arranged for me to be the last one to do the pounding. I am holding up the mallet so Anton could get a good photo of me in my "happi" coat.
