Oomisoka  December 31,  2010


We call the December 31 "OOMISOKA".


Today we had the first snow in kyoto city as this winter.
It have been snowing all day long.

The neighborhood is so quiet and calm.

People must be staying inside of their house and be reluxed.


This is the view from the terace of my house.

























I decorated the entrance to put the new year's flowers.
