| Yo-yo

I think there are 2 types we call Yo-yo. One is as people knows, is made by line and plastic one.
The other is this like as you see picture. It is small baloon with water inside, and connects with line made by rubber.
Its very colorful and very light one, so its easy for small kids to play.
There are many festival in Japan, you can see this type of Yo-yo at there. But you don't buy this Yo-yo but you fish(hook) with unique fish hook.
This fish hook is made by iron hook and Japanese paper. Japanese paper is strong but it turns to be weaken when it goes into the water.
I think almost people can get 1 Yo-yo at last, but it is difficult to get 2,3 and more. You can get Yo-yo as long as your fish hook isn't broken.

Wikipedia Daruma
People buy this daruma when people meet something chance to win, for example, make new company, make theire wish that is difficult to comple..
At first, people write other eye and write another eye when the wish is completed..
So daruma can get eyeS when people's wish is completed..
Japanese buy this daruma on every year, old one is thrown away the place where the shrine is prepared. After many people throw away, the shrine burn out this with praying Buddhist scriptures..

Almost Japanese go to shrine (nearest or famous) on Jan.1 or 2 to thanks for last year and pray go thing well on this year, especially for health, business, or study(college entrance exam).
Almost people , I think about 80% of Japanese go to shrine on Jan.1. This is custom in Japan and keep this custom since ancient time..
We say HATSUMOUDE that people go to shrine to pray. |

Hanabi, as you have ever heard once, but you images big ball exloded in higher air in the summer night in Japan. We also have hand set of hanabi, Japanese childlen like this.
Do you know that ? I think its better for suvenior but you couldnt buy this at suvenior shop where many tourlists visit. You should go
ordinal shop that Japanese often go to.
But you could buy this only summer.
