New Year prayers and comical stares

New Year’s Day shrine visits see prayers made and futures predicted, but most of all the focus is very much on fun. Something that all being well 2014 will be full of.

Happy New Year!

      Yeah, some of the traditional masks are wonderfully expressive. Amazing how those expressions change too, depending on the angle.
