Lazy Tofugu Nengajou

It’s New Year’s Eve (in my time zone, at least) and since I haven’t been super active here lately, I decided to make some e-nengajou (年賀状 or New Year’s postcards) for you guys. Most everybody in Japan sends out nengajou to their family, friends, and coworkers, and as long as they’re taken to the post office before December 25th, they all arrive on January 1st. Ours are a little early, but it’s the thought that counts, right? Make sure to click on the previews for the full size cards ↓

Nengajou usually depict the Chinese zodiac animal for the year, but I figured that the Tofugu fish is a lot cooler than any silly cow, despite both Ko and Viet being born in the Year of the Ox, haha.

゚*。☆(●´∀`) Happy New Year!(´∀`●)☆。*゚
