Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year is not a public holiday in Japan. But we Japanese still continue to celebrate "Lunar New Year" as "Ko-shogatsu (Small New Year)" or "Now-defunct New Year". We have a variety of events, such as fortune-telling about farming, driving birds away from rice fields, wishing the good harvest of farm products and making a bonfire out of the New Year's decorations, such as pines, bamboo and straw festoons.
