Kadomatsu is a Japanese tradition for the new year. Made from bamboo, pine rope and ume or plum blossoms or branches, each component of kadomatsu represents key virtues: longevity, strength, prosperity, and resilience. On New Year's Day, take a trip back in time for a closer look at Japanese New Year traditions and the meanings behind them that live on to this day.
