Our Osechi for this new year. The jubako (layered box) features cranes which symbolises a fruitful year.

The baby of the house has her own osechi as well (thank you for the thoughtfulness, Obaachan! 🙂 ) Featuring the Anpanman cartoon series characters that’s popular among children here in Japan.

As one would suppose, each of the dish included in Oseshi has its own meaning. Read here for the symbology of some of the dishes!
