HAPPY NEW YEAR 2021

Japanese New Year’s Day

“Oshogatsu” is the Key of the Year

by Wakouko Sato

appy New Year Misawa residents! As you know, all people worldwide have been influenced by the coronavirus in the past year. Therefore each and every one of us has a different type of new year to look forward to, embracing tradition in the hopes of feeling a bit of normalcy. In Japan our new year is celebrated with traditions and customs that I would like to share with you in this article. Our New Year’s is called “Gantan,” and “Oshogatsu,” which includes the first three days of January. Oshogatsu carries a lot of weight for Japanese people. Most Americans might compare their Christmas and Japan's New Year when it comes to special holidays. Personally, I think our definition of New Year’s is similar to American traditions celebrated during Thanksgiving. Christmas is now celebrated worldwide but the Japanese New Year and American Thanksgiving holidays are traditional home country events where you spend time and relax with family or friends. The Japanese New Year originally derived from the Chinese New Year tradition, called “Shunsetsu.” The Japanese New Year's holiday begins with Oshogatsu on December 31. Most families are franticly cleaning the house in preparation for their New Year’s feast. The only people that usually get to relax on New Year’s Eve are the children. In Japan we name each month by a descriptive word. For example, December is called “Shiwasu,” meaning “running teacher.” Years ago teachers used to have a very privileged position and were extremely busy at the end of the year, although now things are more relaxed for them. But most families are as busy as teachers used to be on New Year’s Eve. Everyone saves up money and cooks a feast in preparation to celebrate the holiday with loved ones. Once the clock strikes midnight to New Year’s Day everything completely changes. All of the small petty things are left in the past and you can reset and start anew! Mom can stop cooking like a busy bee and take a short break to watch “Joya no Kane” on television (bells are rung 108 times at the temples around midnight to remove the 108 human sins in Buddhism). At the end of the year the busy period stops so people can spend the next three days relaxing and doing nothing. Over the past few years I think that the size of families has been decreasing, with fewer generations per household and therefore fewer who can have a traditional Oshogatsu. However, the New Year’s feast with “osechi” and “ozoni” are helping keep the traditional Oshogatsu alive. For Thanksgiving Americans have turkey, pumpkin pie, ham and stuffing. For Oshogatsu Japanese have osechi where we cook elaborate dishes and each dish holds a special meaning. A popular dish is “kurikinton,” made from strained chestnuts and yams. Kurikinton is yellow and symbolizes gold, so by eating this dish at the feast you decrease your chances of having a hard time with money. “Dashimaki tamago” is a broth-rolled omelet that represents fabric and symbolizes having no trouble getting clothes. “Burino teriyaki” is grilled yellowtail fish with sweetened soy sauce. This dish brings good fortune for promotions since yellowtail have different names for each stage of life as they grow into a mature fish. It might be fun to think about these traditions when you see these foods at the store or actually get the chance to eat these dishes. Lastly, we have a New Year’s dish called ozoni. This bowl of soup can vary in taste depending on how each household cooks it. Ozoni usually has rice cake but this area of Japan usually uses “senbei” (crackers made of baked rice flour) instead due to the strong taste of the monsoon harvest. We call our version “senbeijiru” and you can have this local dish throughout the year. A good place to find “senbeijiru” is at Minato Shokudo, where they also have sashimi. Be quick, though, as this restaurant only fits 15 to 20 people and will close as soon as they sell out of food. You can also quickly cook this senbeijiru at your home. Please reference the recipe below. After preparing such a feast the day before, everyone will usually have sushi as a celebration meal on New Year’s Day. In Hachinohe many people visit a popular high-grade conveyor belt sushi bar that only has take out reservations on January 1 because of how many orders they get.

Senbeijiru

Ingredients (two people) 2 Japanese rice crackers, (senbei - can order online) 1 burdock stalk 1/2 carrot stalk (you can get ready-to-use cut burdock and carrots at the grocery store). 1/2 stalk Japanese long onion 100 g (.22 pounds) chicken thigh meat 20 slices dried shiitake mushrooms 3.5 ounces of water Seasonings 1 teaspoon Instant Japanese Broth, ("Ajinomoto") 2 teaspoons soy of sauce 2 teaspoons of sake

1. Break senbei into bite size pieces. 2. Immerse dried shiitake mushroom in water 3. Cut burdock and carrot into long thin shavings, cut Japanese long onion at an angle. 4. Slice chicken thigh meat into quarter inch pieces. 5. Bring the water and mushrooms to a boil. Put seasonings, burdock, carrots and onions into the boiled water. Then place the chicken into the pot and boil over medium heat until cooked. 6. Put senbei in two bowls. Pour the hot soup into the bowl over the rice crackers. You can garnish the dish with dropwort to taste.

One of the fun things to do on New Year’s Day is the tradition called “hatsuyume.” This is trying to remember the first dream you see at night on New Year’s Day. If you remember the dream you saw from the night of January 1 on the morning of January 2, the dream is supposed to come true. I don't usually remember the night’s dream because I am always in a deep sleep. If you can think about the hatsuyume tradition before you go to bed on January 1, you might see a fortunate dream. We use auspicious symbols and designs derived from “Shintoism” for celebrating the Japanese New Year. We have included those symbols and designs on almost every page of this January edition of the Leisure Times. You may not be familiar with some of the meanings behind each symbol. Pine trees, bamboo and plums represent immortality, longevity and integrity, while tying strings is an expression of happy occasions. You will see these symbols and designs at shrines or passing by houses off base during the three days of “Oshogatsu.” These traditional New Year’s happy symbols and designs were hidden in this edition by the Marketing & Publicity staff. Try to find those symbols throughout this magazine. You might have small lucky occurrences during 2021 based on how many you can find! Share any images of the traditional Japanese New Year ’s dishes you saw or experienced this New Year's Day on our Facebook Page @Misawa AB Force Support Squadron. 2 |

Are you looking for full-time child care? Misawa Air Base currently has six licensed Family Child Care homes. Our providers oﬀer full-time, part-time, hourly and PCS child care. We even provide child care for doctor appointments and job interviews. Each provider has their own contract for the services that are provided in their home. All of our providers go through in depth training, CPR and First Aid training, background checks and they purchase liability insurance. Once they are licensed, their program is inspected at least once a month to ensure their homes are safe and that they are following the standards put in place for licensed FCC homes. If you are looking for care for your child or you want to learn about becoming an FCC provider, please call the FCC oﬃce at 226-2273 or 0176-77-2273.

FCC

If you live in on-base housing and provide care in your home for more than 10 hours a week on a regular basis, you must be licensed by the Unites States Air Force. Failure to obtain an Air Force FCC license may result in the loss of housing privileges. Please note: if you care for two children for ﬁve hours each, that equals 10 hours of child care.

FSS Spotlight What is your favorite part about working for the Unite program? Tough question because I like all aspects of the job. I guess if I had to pick one thing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the feeling of satisfaction when a program is successful. Coming in a strong second is meeting so many people and getting to know them a bit as we work together creating team-building opportunities. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also had the chance to meet more of those in my own squadron that I rarely had time to interact with while I was working for Outdoor Recreation. And last but not least is the fact that while all of my peers have to work with budgets, forecasting revenue, and all of those other aspects of business, my goal is to be completely broke at the end of the year! How sweet is that?

What do you wish the Misawa community knew about the Unite program?

Ronald F. Stark Community Cohesion Coordinator

28 | January 2021

Everything! First oďŹ&#x20AC;, Unite is not me nor is it a Misawa thing. Unite is an Air Force-wide program to give commanders another means of building moral, unit cohesion, esprit de corps, and all those other good things. The program really belongs to the squadrons, I just help them turn ideas into events to achieve the goal. I also hate sitting behind a computer all day and my oďŹ&#x192;ce gets a bit lonely. I love it when people stop by to chat and I love it even more when I get invited to come out and talk about the program.

What is your best Unite program memory? Well Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only been at this since the beginning of 2020 and as we all know things havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been so smooth. This pandemic has taken a toll on everyone and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made Unite even more important. People need to decompress on a regular basis and getting together to have some fun is something we all need. Believe it or not coming to work and interacting with so many great airmen is one of the ways I decompress! Memories? I make them every day.
