Happy New Year (in Japanese)!
Once in a while, I get handmade postcards and they always make my day! This one comes from a good friend and former classmate of mine who now lives in Pennsylvania (again). They spent quite some time in Japan and they’re my go-to person when I have questions about a whole host of things, not just Japanese. As many of you may know, this upcoming lunar new year will mark the beginning of the year of the Ox, hence the bovine drawing here. This leads me to two questions:
What’s your Eastern zodiac sign? I’m a Dog!
How do you prefer to translate this upcoming year’s animal? Ox? Bull? Cow?
