Happy New Year 2024! - It's the Year of the Dragon

         Happy New Year Everyone!

        Did you know that 2024 is the Year of the Dragon (辰年)?

        It has been custom that many people in Japan send New Year's cards, which is called nengajyo (年賀状), to friends, families and business associates. Many New Year's cards have illustration of the animal of the year in them.  

             I made this nengajyo for my readers. With using my iPad and Logitech iPad Pencil, I drew this one referring to Manga Nihon Mukashibanashi (まんが日本昔ばなし), which is a Japanese animated folktales and was ran from 1975 through 1994 in Japan. When I was a child, I watched Manga Nihon Mukashibanashi in Japan every week. These flying dragon and a child holding a den-den daiko (でんでん太鼓), pellet drum, in his hand were seen during the opening theme song. This scene of the dragon is my favorite childhood memory of Japan.     

 

 

          Wish you a very happy new year!
