Every July 7th, Japan celebrates Tanabata also known as the Star Festival.

Legend has it that the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi are only able to meet on this day, once a year. If it happens to rain, they would not be able to meet till next year.

Thankfully, this year it did NOT rain & our office continued to put up Tanabata wishes till the last day.

These wishes were written on tanzaku, long strips of paper.

Were you able to do this while in Japan? What was your Tanabata wish?

毎年7月7日は、日本で「星まつり」とも言われる七夕（たなばた）です。

言い伝えによると、織姫（おりひめ）と彦星（ひこぼし）の2人は、年に一度、この日だけ会うことができます。もし雨が降ってしまうと、彼らは翌年まで会うことができません。

幸いなことに今年の七夕は雨が降らず、私たちのオフィスでは最終日まで七夕の願い事を飾り続けました。
これらの願い事は、七夕のために用意された短冊と呼ばれる細長い紙に書かれ、いくつかの願い事は私たちを笑わせてくれました。

皆さんの願い事はどのようなものですか？

✨🌟 ちなみに、織姫と彦星は、実際に存在する星であり、夏の夜空に浮かぶ「こと座のベガ」、「わし座のアルタイル」としてみることができます。

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Tom & Felicity are celebrating a traditional Japanese New Year's scene and we are here to break it all down for you:

Mikan - Clementines/mandarin oranges. Not only do you use this delectable fruit to decorate your New Year's shrine they are almost always ripe and juicy, ready-to-eat.

Space heater - Many homes in Japan still have the traditional framework & haven't been upgraded to modern standards. But don't underestimate these hard-working heating monsters! They generate heat very quickly and can bring a cold room to cozy temperatures within 15 minutes! For Tom & Felicity's room, this space heater is a perfect size!

Kotatsu - the low, wooden table with the blanket. This is common among homes where people still sit on the ground for sleeping, eating, etc. Of course, the ground gets very cold so that's why many of these kotatsu will have a small heater attached to the table which will warm up the bottom area very nicely. You then keep your feet and lap under the blanket while enjoying a social evening. There are even stories of people falling asleep in the kotatsu! (Example: Mi-chan)

Nabe - Tom & Felicity are enjoying a hot pot which is a regular food staple among Japanese families during the winter. Not only is it super easy to make, it's nutritious and warms the belly and soul. Comfort food at its max and great to eat alone or with friends and family.

Can you find the last thing about our holiday scene? Hint: 2025 is the "Year of the ____"

Catch Tom, Felicity, and Mi-chan this year when "Felicity's Door" releases~!

🎍

今年も1年大変お疲れ様でした！
みなさまはどんな1年でしたか？
今年フェリシティーズ・ドアは、東京ゲームショウに出展し、たくさんの人に遊んでいただきました。
2025年もみなさまに「Felicity's Door」をお届けできるよう精進して参ります。リリースされたら、ぜひ皆さんに遊んでいただけたら嬉しいです！
それではみなさま、良いお正月をお過ごしください~
