Happy New Year !
The staff of Cycle Tokyo! wishes everyone a wonderful year.

' 2007 in Japan is the year of the wild boar, or "Ino-Sshi-shi"
Japan carries the tradition of nameing the year by the twelve zodiac signs(in Chinese astrology). Each year has a symbolic animal, with the cycle completed every twelfth year.
Here we go...rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and the boar.
