[edit] Additions to the article

Does anyone know where Fukubukuro would fit in this article?--293.xx.xxx.xx 10:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

You could make a new section for it, or reorganize. It's a good idea for the article. Fg2 11:07, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

what about the wheat bundle+orange things they hang from the front door of their houses around new years? 137.189.4.1 07:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Are you thinking of Kagami mochi? Fg2 07:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] So when is it?

The first paragraph is very confusing about whether New Years, as discussed in the article, is celebrated on the day of the Chinese New Year or the Gregorian one. Please specify in the first few sentences. --LakeHMM 06:54, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

"....has been celebrated for centuries.." sounds a little misleading, given that the date changed in the later half of the 1800's. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platinum inc (talk • contribs) 19:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
