The year of 2007 has begun. You might be aware that a year has 365 days. I'm wondering why that number? Who decided it? It's a subtle but good question, isn't it?

To answer the question, the Japanese visit shrines on New Year's day for their year's first pray. I suspect that many of the Japanese pay no attention to the religious significance of the new year's shrine trip. However, they still visit because it is a part of their new year celebration routines. Yes. That must be the answer.
