At Kyoto’s Kiyomizu Temple, \u4eca\u5e74\u306e\u6f22\u5b57 (kotoshi no kanji<\/em>), or the kanji of the year was just announced to be \u7d46 (kizuna<\/em>) or bonds between people.\u00a0 According to the Japanese Kanji Proficiency Society, the rationale behind its selection by the based on ideas from the public was that in a disaster-ridden year that brought a nation closer together, kizuna best reflects the events of 2011.\u00a0 These bonds include those among family members, friends and neighbors, as well as refers to support from abroad.\u00a0 It was chosen with the hope that the world will continue to coalesce to help restore Japan.<\/p>\n

As for how this year’s \u304a\u6b63\u6708 (oshougatsu<\/em>) nine months after the disaster will be spent, it seems as if most people are being low-key and staying close to home due to 3-11.\u00a0 Many are still in mourning for the lives that were lost, and this probably will continue until the one-year anniversary next year.\u00a0 People aren’t even sure what to write on their new year’s cards, as the typical \u65b0\u5e74\u304a\u3081\u3067\u3068\u3046 (shinnen omedetou<\/em>) or “Happy New Year!” may not be appropriate.\u00a0 Below are some suggestions (in Japanese) for what to write on \u5e74\u8cc0\u72b6 (nengajou<\/em>) to those in the disaster area.<\/p>\n
