Toshigami is a deity in Japanese folklore, often associated with the New Year celebrations. This god is believed to bring good fortune and blessings for the coming year. Traditionally, families welcome Toshigami into their homes by placing a special decoration called Kadomatsu at their entrances, which is made of pine and bamboo to symbolize prosperity and longevity. During the New Year, it is customary to offer Osechi, a special meal prepared to honor Toshigami. The food is beautifully arranged in layered boxes and includes various dishes, each representing different wishes for the year ahead, such as health, happiness, and wealth.
