One month left to make ``Kadomatsu’’ for the New Year
門松は、お正月に家の門などに置いて飾るものです
Kadomatsu are decorations that are placed on the gates of houses during the New Year.
At Fuminari Sato’s house in Tsugaru City, Aomori Prefecture, Kadomatsu trees are made every year at this time of year.
門松を作るときは、まず3本の竹を立てます
When making a kadomatsu, first stand three bamboos.
Add pine branches little by little around it to create the shape of a kadomatsu.
Mr. Sato and his colleagues made three types of kadomatsu, ranging in height from 80cm to 1m50cm.
Mr. Sato said, ``I’m making this with the hope that next year will be a year where everyone laughs, just like this laughing bamboo.’’
佐藤さんは「この笑い竹のように、来年は皆さんが笑って過ごす1年になるようにという気持ちで作っています」と話していました
