Happy New Year everyone. Hope it started on a high note.
Mine started with the Traditional Japanese Food Osechi, Zoni, Auspicious flowers and friends. I have been doing this how long ? I can't remember.
But It became the Annual New Year's Day Luncheon.
Preparation started few days before including digging out the tableware and linen. Some of them are only use once a year. Those Imari-porcelain surely put me in the mood. Of course shopping and cooking had to be done way before New Years Eve.

Table ware did their work. And I did my dish washing.
Now they were ready for the next party.
Some how winter afternoon sun light cast a fantastic shadow over them.
It looked like still celebrating the year of Rooster.
