A poodle was taking a walk this afternoon.
He wears clothes like a man.
He may be a 'pet' or a 'companion animal' of his house.

Today we made New Year decorations;(o-ka-za-ri) using rice straws.Old Shizusan showed us how to make it.
First, we put the straws into the water to be wet.
Second to make them soft, we strike them with a mallet.
And we braid as these pictures.
After weaving the straws like this picture, we straighten them.
Then we arrange or decorate them by putting 'u-ra-ji-ro', ho-n-da-wa-ra', 'da-i-da-i' and so on to them.
We hang these decorations on the door of the entrance, a household Shinto alter, Buddhist alter, in the well, around the tomb and so on.
We are getting ready for the comming New Year doing like this.
