初詣 HATSUMODE
It's a Japanese tradition on new year day. Usually, we visit to a shrine and wish for health, good luck, happiness in first 3 days of new year. I woke up 6:00 in the morning on new years day and visit the shrine on the small mountain behind my house. This is the first video that I edited all on my own.

Shishimai, Tokyo New Year's Day
This Shishimai dance is performed specially on the New Year's Day.
Shishi means a sort of imaginary animal like lion. Mai means dance.
It is believed that if a person is bitten by this Shisi's mouth, he/she will be safe and healthy throughout the year...
So people try to stretch out the neck towards this Shishi, and get bitten....of course it is a sort of fake gesture...relax, no one would be hurt;) then give out a small money into the mouth of Shishi.
...All the treatition!
