Omikuji

Omikuji are the little traditional fortune telling sheets, Japanese people get at temple in the first days of the new year. From a wooden box you extract a numbered wooden stick and get the corresponding sheet. It tells about the work, study, love and health of the new year. After reading it, people tide it to a tree or strings in the temple court. Even if it is snowing people gather to temple the first day of the year.
