I decided to do nothing on this New Year's Day and I drunk off a bottle of sake. But Mari told me that we should go to a shrine for "hatsu-moude" and so get ready now. We took a bus for "Takahata-Fudo", a famous temple for hatsu-moude. Suddenly she insisted that we go to other place. She told me that Takahata-Fudo seems to be no answer for the academic work. On the other hand, there was a large crowd in the nearest shrine. We returned and went to a shrine near my home.
This shrine is located on a hill with a view and enshrines the Kichijo-ten, Goddess of Beauty and Prosperity. There are some garden ornaments of Totoro (see photos) for unknown reason. We met few other people and thereby could strike and ring a big bell in this shrine. Then we had each omikuji, a fortune paper. We got Dai-kichi, which means excellent luck, except for Mari's little sister. She got Sho-kichi, small luck, and gave a disappointed look.
On the way to home, Ken said that he could not walk any further. Mari took his toys and ran away. He got angry and ran after her.
