It will not be long before next year!In Japan, it is time to clean rooms! I cleaned my room and car today.
We cleaned our study room the other day. The dumping ground of our school was covered with heaps of rubbish. I found some things from the heaped trash. One of them was very big rucksack for climbing mountains. It was broken a little so I repaired it using something in my lab. They are a plastic chopping board, some bolts & nuts and a sewing kit. The improved rucksack must be stronger than before but a little unshapely.
The other things were a mouse and a tennis racket. They were not broken and not so old. They are enough for me.
Japanese culture before seeing in New Year
The object made of some bamboo and pine tree is “Kadomatu”. It was put outside the front door of my home now. It is said that it is the mark when the God of this year come our home and the place that the God dwell. The object was given to my dad by his friend.
I wish you a happy new year!

Hi Shizuo-I like the cleaning of the house for New Year's. It is great that you were able to reuse some things. A woman down the alley from me has a garden service and I find plants she has thrown out to put in our garden in the Park. Also found two beautiful iron trellis for my own yard!
The "Kadomatu is a nice tradition. Happy New Year to you and your family!
