オト　の　アート　#6

Jan

This is my 2011 Year of the Rabbit nengajo design. This year I attempted a 2-colour woodblock print for the first time in ages - usually I just use black. It was extra work - and some trouble - but I think it looks good.

If you`re not Japanese, maybe you don`t know that on the back of post office issued nengajo, there are numbers down the bottom - they`re lottery numbers! The winning numbers are released on the 15th of January. I hope I win something!

Have you ever won a nengajo lottery prize? What was it?

I sometimes won stamps.But I have never won other prize,only stamps.
Anyway,now the winning numbers haven't released on the 15th of January since that day isn't a national holiday.The day is on the 23th of Jamuary in this year.I hope I win something too!

Really? I have to wait till the 23rd??? Anyway, I`ll be happy enough if I win stamps - I like to use interesting stamps when I write home to my family in Australia.
