That means "First Letters of the Year"
We are at the Aratani/ Japan American Theatre anxiously waiting for the performances to begin.
The performances include Asian classical music, solo and group dances, duets and finally the ritual of shooting of an arrow, a purification ceremony.
May this year be full of happiness, health, good fortune, and family.
Happy New Year!
Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!
